This scoping review aimed to assess the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in supporting self-care management of hypertension.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley frameworks. Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Journal Storage, and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies conducted between 2014 and 2024. The search used specific keywords
