This research investigates the factors influencing user acceptance of the Halo Hermina mobile health application through an analysis of user experience and satisfaction. The study utilized a survey method to gather feedback from Halo Hermina users, assessing the questionnaire's validity and reliability. The results indicate strong validity across most items, with correlation values between 0.779 and 0.828 for performance expectancy and over 0.77 for effort expectancy. The reliability analysis shows high internal consistency, with Cronbach's Alpha values exceeding 0.976. User satisfaction scored the highest mean (4.027), indicating a consistent high level of satisfaction among users. The correlation analysis reveals significant relationships between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating condition, and behavioral intention, with the strongest correlation found between performance expectancy and effort expectancy (0.8796). Overall, the study emphasizes the crucial role of enhancing user experience and satisfaction to boost the adoption of mobile health applications like Halo Hermina, providing valuable insights for developers and stakeholders to enhance application features and service quality to meet user expectations effectively.
