Information was gathered from 238 patients across Selangor. The results suggest that governments must implement suitable strategies to foster patients’ motivation in using the mobile application apps could be raised. In summary, this study concludes that the main results, as determined by the regression analysis, support that subjective norms have a significant influence on individuals’ intention to use Health Clinic Online Appointment System apps.
