Although evidence of the global effectiveness and usability mobile health (mHealth) apps as non-drug interventions is growing, older adults often demonstrate low adoption rates these apps. This study aims to identify perspectives on introducing adopting mHealth in Australia Germany.

Abstract Technical progress is disrupting the mobility sector. New door-to-door (D2D) integrators promise to offer smart by packaging together different services such as car-sharing and public transport. However, providers up now have rarely entered into value co-creation relationships. As a result, citizens are offered that cannot be considered truly smart. Although has been subject of numerous studies taking service-dominant logic perspective, this research often lacked empirical evidence....

The urgency of climate change is evident worldwide, but current mobility patterns still cause severe environmental damage . largest share these mobility-related problems caused by everyday private car use, such as commuting. One way to through digital nudging in the form trip recommendations increase commuters' public transportation use.

In extreme cases, they build their alternative reality with limited information can lead real-world action, seen in the storming of capitol. Therefore, we need better understand mechanisms opinion disclosure such communities....

If a hospital keeps electronic medical records (EMRs), the underlying health information system is primary repository and source of patient-related data for physicians. Even though benefits improvements attained through technology (HIT) are widely acknowledged, EMR adoption rates surprisingly low in German hospitals. Since there no 'pull' to use systems, we theorize that penetration systems could be part explained by physicians' antipathy towards computerized records. In order examine...
