Introduction: Poor medication adherence can significantly compromise clinical outcomes and escalate healthcare costs. Given the potential of mobile health (mHealth) to enhance medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases, this review aims to explore the role of mHealth interventions in improving medication adherence and overall health outcomes.
Information Sources or Data: PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus scientific databases.
Selection Methods for Study: The A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases. After applying relevant search terms and excluding duplicate studies, 69 articles were selected for full-text review. Following a rigorous screening process, 32 articles were included in the final analysis. Key information from these articles was extracted and summarized in tabular and graphical formats.
Combine Content and Results: The Based on the type of mHealth application, the majority of studies (10) focused on evaluating the efficacy and acceptability of health applications. The findings revealed that 28 studies demonstrated a significant positive impact of mHealth on medication adherence. In contrast, 3 studies did not definitively conclude on the significance of mHealth’s effect, while no studies reported a negative impact on adherence.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that mHealth interventions can significantly improve medication adherence, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the management of chronic diseases.
