Economic Evaluations of mHealth Interventions for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is plenty of evidence supporting the clinical benefits of mHealth interventions for type 2 diabetes, but despite often being promoted as cost-effective or cost-saving, there is still limited research to support such claims.
