Paper Abstract:
|
Despite the pervasiveness of mobile devices and the number of available mobile health (mHealth) apps, a scaled
nationwide mHealth solution for supporting continuous healthcare is lacking in many developing countries. Systematic
reviews in mobile health field show various barriers to explain the lack of scalability and sustainability among mHealth
interventions. However, little is known about the methodological soundness of mHealth app design studies. We
conducted a literature review to investigate the theoretical foundations of mHealth design studies, which are essential to
inform design and content of the solution. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and classify the mHealth studies in
terms of their methodological soundness for the design, development process of smartphone application (app) through
content analysis. |
