Exploring mHealth interventions for medication management: a scoping review of digital tools, implementation barriers, and patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Medication non-adherence remains a significant global healthcare challenge, resulting in inadequate disease management, increased hospitalisations, and higher healthcare costs. Mobile health (mHealth) applications have emerged as promising digital health tools for enhancing medication adherence through real-time monitoring, personalised reminders, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven interventions, and improved patient engagement.

Objectives

This scoping review examines the effectiveness, key features, and challenges of mHealth applications in promoting medication adherence across diverse patient populations and healthcare settings. It also seeks to identify research gaps and inform future development and implementation strategies for digital therapeutics.
