Abstract

The aim of this preliminary study is to present the usage behaviour of mHealth applications. A survey was conducted among 352 Smartphone users; 109 of them had used mHealth applications as well. The usage of these applications seemed to be quite low. Young people had used mHealth applications more than the elders. Also, there was not found a statistically significant relationship between the gender and the usage of mHealth applications.
