Acceptability of a Web-Based Health App (PortfolioDiet.app) to Translate a Nutrition Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease in High-Risk Adults: Mixed Methods Randomized Ancillary Pilot Study

Due to their highly scalable nature, the use of technology to aid in the dissemination and delivery of lifestyle behavior change interventions has become of great interest with the number of studies investigating health apps having gone up rapidly since 2010 [21]. Web- and mobile-based applications (hereafter apps) provide an important alternative and complementary approach for the delivery and long-term reinforcement of health advice.

The mChoice App, an mHealth Tool for the Monitoring of Preexposure Prophylaxis Adherence and Sexual Behaviors in Young Men Who Have Sex With Men: Usability Evaluation

To overcome this clinical and public health challenge, technological interventions, such as mobile health (m Health) apps, have emerged to support public health care initiatives [18]. However, despite the potential of m Health for delivering sexual health and HIV prevention awareness, m Health is underutilized for supporting Pr EP adherence [19,20].

Provider Perspectives on the Use of Mental Health Apps, and the BritePath App in Particular, With Adolescents at Risk for Suicidal Behavior: Qualitative Study

To address these concerns, researchers are developing new mobile apps aimed at improving both the efficiency of communication with youth at risk for suicidal behavior and shared decision-making between providers and adolescent patients. These tools are increasingly promoted to address mental health concerns in general and depression in particular [12-16]. Empirically based apps for depression range from cognitive behavioral self-help programs [15,16] to screening [16,17] or mood-tracking apps [18].

Meanwhile, mobile health (m Health) apps, developed to support users in managing their health independently, have advanced considerably. According to the World Health Organization, m Health is a broad term encompassing activities that involve the use of smartphones, sensors, personal digital assistants, wireless monitoring devices, or other wireless technologies to deliver public health and health care services [11].

Evaluating the Knowledge Level, Practice, and Behavioral Change Potential of Care Managers in Pressure Injury Prevention Using a Mobile App Prototyping Model in the Home-Care Setting: Single-Arm, Pre-Post Pilot Study

Mobile apps for PIs can be grouped into apps for PI treatment and apps for PI prevention. European wound management experts developed a clinical support mobile app based on a global wound care framework to implement care plans and promote wound healing [17]. Do Khac et al [18] evaluated a free-access mobile health app compared with standard technique to assess its reliability and validity of measurement of surface area of PIs in patients with spinal cord injury.

Feasibility of a Mobile App–Based Cognitive-Behavioral Perinatal Skills Program: Protocol for Nonrandomized Pilot Trial

Specifically, smartphone apps may be able to offer accessible and user-friendly platforms that teach useful coping strategies, which may be especially beneficial for mothers who have difficulty accessing traditional mental health services [10]. However, the landscape of mobile health apps using evidence-based information or psychological interventions is relatively sparse, and efforts to tailor these tools to meet the unique needs of the perinatal population are in the early stages of the field [11,12].
