Abstract

Background/Objectives: Mobile health (mHealth) apps have become a revolutionary tool in managing and treating chronic diseases, providing numerous advantages for both patients and healthcare providers. These apps leverage technology to offer a variety of functions that support the monitoring, management, and enhancement of a patient's health. Methods: We performed an observational study with 147 participants, using a questionnaire to evaluate the impact of mHealth applications on lifestyle changes in individuals managing chronic health conditions, including diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Results: The study found that 40% of participants used the app daily, with a further 24.39% using it weekly and 14.63% using it occasionally. The positive health impact of the app was evident, with improvements in key health metrics such as glucose levels (73.42%), weight (62.02%), and adherence to dietary recommendations (71.31%). Conslussions: These findings aligned with studies on the effectiveness of mHealth apps in managing chronic conditions like diabetes. These broad health improvements reported by users suggested that the app was effective in promoting healthier behaviors. The high levels of user satisfaction and engagement highlighted how effective the app was. All in all, our study found that mHealth apps are valuable tools for people managing chronic health conditions, helping to motivate users and improve their health.
