What did studies of Mobile health interventions find?
6Studies of Mobile health interventions measured 6 outcomes; the most studied are gait speed (1 study), daily step count (1) and frailty severity (1).
Gait speed
upin humans1
1 study
Gait speed
upin humans1
Mobile health interventions increase gait speed in humans (frailty) (SMD 1.25, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.59).
“physical function outcomes (gait speed (SMD = 1.25, 95%CI = 0.91, 1.59, P < 0.05)”

Daily step count
upin humans1
Mobile health interventions increase daily step count in humans (frailty) (SMD 0.89, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.38).
“increased physical activity levels (daily step count (SMD = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.41, 1.38, P < 0.001)”

Frailty severity
downin humans1
Mobile health interventions decrease frailty severity in humans (frailty) (SMD −1.11, 95% CI −1.71 to −0.51).
“significantly reduce frailty severity as measured by continuous indices (SMD = − 1.11, 95%CI = − 1.71, − 0.51, P < 0.001)”

Mobile health interventions improve medication adherence in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
“mHealth programs enhanced self-management behaviors and medication adherence.”

1 study
Body weight
downin humans1
Mobile health interventions decrease body weight in humans (primarily in lifestyle-focused apps with active diet and physical activity tracking).
“Weight, body mass index, and waist circumference revealed small improvement, primarily in lifestyle-focused apps with active diet and physical activity tracking.”

1 study
HbA1c
downin humans1−0.8%
Mobile health interventions decrease HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (up to 0.8%).
“mHealth interventions consistently produced modest but clinically relevant reductions in HbA1c (up to 0.8% in intensive, tailored programs) compared to usual care.”
