End-User Insights into Mobile Health for Self-Management
Mobile health (mHealth) has emerged as a promising field for advancing global healthcare systems. It leverages mobile apps, telemedicine platforms, and wearable devices to promote healthy behaviours and improve health outcomes. Despite its potential, mHealth faces challenges, including limited awareness, insufficient evidence of efficacy, usability constraints, and privacy concerns. Overcoming these challenges is crucial to maximizing mHealth's impact on healthcare and public health.
This thesis investigates end-users' experiences with mHealth for self-management, providing insights to inform the development of solutions more closely aligned with user needs. Key findings highlight challenges such as data privacy, accuracy, and information reliability, highlighting areas for improvement in future mHealth solutions.
