In the Arab world, mobile health (mHealth) applications are an effective way to provide health benefits to medically needy in the absence of health services. However, end users around the world use technology to perform tasks in a way that appears more natural, and closer to their cultural and personal preferences. Evidence from prior studies shows that culture is a vital factor in the success of a system or product. In view of this fact, this study investigated elderly Arab users’ acceptance of mHealth User Interface (UI) design-based culture. The TAM model was used to shape the theoretical foundation for this study with a questionnaire as data gathering tool from 81 participants. The findings showed that perceived ease of use and attitude towards use had a significant positive influence on users’ behavioral intention to use mHealth UI design-based culture. The impact of age on the relationship between ease of use, usefulness, and intention was significant. Overall, the findings showed that elderly Arab users found the UI design of mHealth acceptable due to its cultural significance. To enhance the design of mobile UI targeting elderly users, it is important to consider the cultural rules and their behavioral applications.

老年人接受基于mHealth用户界面（UI）设计的文化：年龄的主持人角色

在阿拉伯世界，移动医疗（mHealth）应用程序是在没有医疗服务的情况下为有医疗需要的人提供健康益处的有效方法。但是，世界各地的最终用户使用技术来执行任务的方式看起来更加自然，并且更接近他们的文化和个人喜好。先前研究的证据表明，文化是系统或产品成功的重要因素。有鉴于此，本研究调查了阿拉伯老年人用户对基于mHealth用户界面（UI）设计的文化的接受程度。TAM模型通过问卷调查作为81位参与者的数据收集工具，为本研究奠定了理论基础。研究结果表明，易用性和使用态度对用户使用基于mHealth UI设计的文化的行为意图具有重大的积极影响。年龄对易用性，有用性和意图之间关系的影响很大。总体而言，调查结果表明，阿拉伯老年人用户认为mHealth的UI设计具有文化意义，因此可以接受。为了增强针对老年人的移动用户界面的设计，重要的是要考虑文化规则及其行为应用。
