Smartphone Ownership and the Willingness to receive Mobile Health Services among Patients with Hypertension in Nigeria.

All our participants owned mobile phones, with 48.7% being smartphones and almost all the participants were willing to receive and pay for mobile health services for prevention, treatment and information on hypertension. Middle age was the only predictor of willingness to receive mobile health, and the most preferred choices were through phone calls and text messages. The above information will guide in the design of favourable mHealth interventions that will be ideal for our study population.
