This paper extends the mobile device adoption model by Sarker & Wells [1]. We extend this model from being focused on individuals, to discuss intra and extra organisational socio-technical arrangements that interplay with mHealth solution implementation and adoption, in low resource contexts. Among others, highlighted factors include user characteristics, influence of supported work, modality of user mobility, technological characteristics, change management, and other contextual factors such as economic, social, and political factors. This is done by reviewing an mHealth initiative from Malawi and related mHealth literature. We argue that the above mentioned factors form the installed base on which solutions are built, and continuously interplay with the use of mHealth solutions, thereby influencing adoption outcomes.
