Research hypotheses.
| Hypothesis number | Hypothesis description | Model 1a | Model 2b | Model 3c | Table or figure |
| H1a | Instrumentality judgments of mHealthd apps should be higher when data are analyzed by a human physician versus an AIe algorithm. | √ | X | X | Figure 1 |
| H1b | Instrumentality judgments of mHealth apps should be higher when there are few versus many controls, regardless of mHealth data analysis mode. | √ | √ | √ | Figure 1 |
| H2a | Aesthetic judgments of mHealth apps should be similar when data are analyzed either by a human physician or an AI algorithm. | √ | √ | X | Figure 2 |
| H2b | Symbolism judgments of mHealth apps should be similar when data are analyzed either by a human physician or an AI algorithm. | √ | √ | √ | Figure 3 |
| H3a | Instrumentality should be a salient predictor of preference variance for apps that engage a human physician versus an AI algorithm. | √ | X | X | Table 2 |
| H3b | Aesthetics should be a salient predictor of preference variance for apps that engage a human physician and those that engage an AI algorithm. | √ | X | X | Table 2 |
| H3c | Symbolism should be a salient predictor of preference variance for apps that engage a human physician and those that engage an AI algorithm. | X | √ | X | Table 2 |
| H4 | Preference is higher for apps that engage a human physician versus an AI algorithm. | X | X | X | Figure 4 |
