Evaluating the Efficacy of Holistic mHealth Interventions for Promoting Healthy Ageing in Adults
This study outlines a systematic review protocol to evaluate mHealth interventions that integrate physical activity, nutrition, and mental health support for adult populations.
In plain words
Phone apps that combine exercise, healthy eating and mental health support are becoming common. This review would gather the evidence on how well they actually help adults stay healthy as they age.
Primary research question
What are the characteristics and clinical effectiveness of holistic mHealth interventions targeting physical, dietary, and mental health outcomes in adults?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
There appears to be a lack of synthesized evidence regarding the combined impact of multi-dimensional mHealth interventions on healthy ageing outcomes.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Understanding the effectiveness of integrated digital health tools is critical for scaling public health strategies to support an ageing global population.
