Therefore, an mHealth intervention, TelePraCMan, was developed and evaluated for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high blood pressure, or heart failure in a German primary care setting. TelePraCMan entails a symptom diary, an appointment manager, a manager to document goals, and a warning system. The app should foster the self-management of participating patients.<h4>Objective</h4>We aimed to examine the effects of TelePraCMan on patient activation and quality of life and explored the underlying contextual factors, impacts, and degree of implementation.<h4>Methods</h4>In JMIR formative researche34786https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9459841biostudies-literatureEffects and Processes of an mHealth Intervention for the Management of Chronic Diseases: Prospective Observational Study.PMC9459841Wensing MBreckner AWiezorreck LLitke NSzecsenyi JMiksch AGobl LWeis AfalseEffects and Processes of an mHealth Intervention for the Management of Chronic Diseases: Prospective Observational Study.<h4>Background</h4>Mobile health (mHealth) interventions for self-management are a promising way to meet the needs of patients with chronic diseases in primary care practices.
