Abstract

The World Health Organization envisions that mobile health (mHealth) technologies will revolutionize healthcare to help people around the world. This review examined recent literature to assess the state-of-the-art of mHealth technology design frameworks and guidelines. Through multiple rounds of searches and screenings, twelve eligible research publications were selected from MEDLINE and Web of Science for full analyses, including selected bibliometrics, categorical meta-trend analyses and inductive content analysis. This review reveals the current state of mHealth research, highlights impactful design frameworks and guidelines, generates the current action cycle for mHealth technology research, and discusses on practical implications as well as future directions for mHealth research and design.
