Identifying mobile health interventions for post-discharge stroke and myocardial infarction patients: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Data on postdischarge care for stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) patients remain limited. Logistical barriers, including fragmented communication and poor coordination between patients and physicians, contribute to suboptimal outcomes and hinder secondary prevention. Mobile health (mHealth) offers a promising strategy to support continuity of care. We aimed to synthesise existing literature and evaluate mHealth interventions for postdischarge MI and stroke care.

Design

This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guideline.

Data sources

PubMed, CINAHIL, Scopus and Cochrane were searched from 26 July 2016 to 5 July 2024.
