Abstract
Various technology transfer models have been introduced in the literature, and those models have the potential to facilitate the design, development, evaluation, and dissemination of emerging technology. Yet, those models are less likely to be suitable to mobile health (mHealth) technology consumers who have disabilities due to lack of user-centered approach to technology transfer. To address the gap, this paper introduced an innovative framework for mHealth technology transfer to those with disabilities. The framework consists of technology concept, technology engineering, technology embedding, and ongoing participatory design. The framework is expected to contribute to usability, accessibility, and safety of consumer mHealth technology for users with disabilities, ultimately leading to enhancement of health-related quality of life and equity.
