Impact of Smartphone Apps on Reperfusion Times and Clinical Outcomes in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Impact of Smartphone Apps on Reperfusion Times and Clinical Outcomes in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

These capabilities enhance the potential use of mobile health (m Health) apps to enhance care coordination in acute STEMI care. A number of apps have emerged in this domain, using tailor-built platforms as well as commercially available, nondedicated instant messaging apps (eg Whats App [Meta Platforms Inc] [9]. In comparison to instant messaging platforms, dedicated apps provide a number of added functions beyond a communication channel alone.

Effectiveness of a Digital Peer-Supported App Intervention in Promoting Smoking Cessations: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

Additionally, digital therapies, including smartphone apps, have shown promise. Systematic reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of smoking cessation apps [11,12]. A digital peer-supported app, which facilitates group interactions to motivate users toward quitting smoking, could be particularly beneficial [13-15]. However, no studies have specifically evaluated the effectiveness of this digital peer-supported app for smoking cessation.

Inter- and Intrapersonal Associations Between Physiology and Mental Health: A Longitudinal Study Using Wearables and Mental Health Surveys

Inter- and Intrapersonal Associations Between Physiology and Mental Health: A Longitudinal Study Using Wearables and Mental Health Surveys

A promising avenue for expanding awareness into individual mental health status can be found in digital technologies like smartphone apps and wearables. Although digital technology adoption may be limited by digital literacy and socioeconomic status [6,7], around half of all smartphone owners use a health and wellness app [8,9] and, in a survey dispersed to a population reflective of the US population, 44.5% (10,679/23,974) of respondents indicated they owned a wearable device [10].

Smart Technology Facilitated Patient-Centered Venous Thromboembolism Management (the SmaVTE Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Smart Technology Facilitated Patient-Centered Venous Thromboembolism Management (the SmaVTE Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Smart technology, such as wearable devices, mobile health (m Health) apps, artificial intelligence, and digital communication platforms, has shown potential in facilitating patient education, providing real-time feedback, and enhancing patient engagement [22-24]. The use of smart technology in patient-centered care supports personalized and proactive health care by empowering patients to manage their health, which is especially important for VTE, where patient behavior greatly affects outcomes [13,16,25].

The Effect of a Mobile App (eMOM) on Self-Discovery and Psychological Factors in Persons With Gestational Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

The Effect of a Mobile App (eMOM) on Self-Discovery and Psychological Factors in Persons With Gestational Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

Mobile apps and wearable devices provide an opportunity for continuous tracking of numerous parameters for self-management of noncommunicable diseases. Diabetes apps have been shown to improve patient self-management in type 1 and 2 diabetes [5-8], while also being cost-effective [9].

Effects of Mobile Health Care App "Asmile" on Physical Activity of 80,689 Users in Osaka Prefecture, Japan: Longitudinal Observational Study

Effects of Mobile Health Care App "Asmile" on Physical Activity of 80,689 Users in Osaka Prefecture, Japan: Longitudinal Observational Study

Several studies have shown that m Health apps contribute to weight loss [9], blood pressure reduction [10], cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction [11], and cognitive function improvement [12,13]. Thus, m Health apps are beginning to be recognized as valuable tools for various purposes in health promotion. However, previous studies have yet to reach a consensus regarding the improvement of exercise habits through the use of m Health apps.

A Brief Video-Based Intervention to Improve Digital Health Literacy for Individuals With Bipolar Disorder: Intervention Development and Results of a Single-Arm Quantitative Pilot Study

For example, a review of apps for psychosis found that only 15% of research apps were accessible on the public marketplace [7]. In contrast, there is a boom in commercial mental health apps [8,9]. The acceptability and uptake of apps in people with BD are high, with 77% expressing interest in receiving mental health treatment via their mobile device [10], and 42% reporting use of an app to support mood or sleep self-management [11].

A Smartphone App Self-Management Program for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial of Clinical Outcomes

The use of smartphone apps, remote monitoring, and telemedicine are more frequently used in the delivery of health care both nationally and internationally than before the COVID-19 pandemic [29,30]. It has also been reported that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively influenced the older population’s views on technology, resulting in increased use of smartphones following the pandemic [30,31].
