Abstract

Mobile health or mHealth, interventions involve the use of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to deliver health education messages and promote healthy behaviours. mHealth interventions have the potential to reach large populations, including underserved and hard-to-reach populations, and can be tailored to meet individual needs and preferences. Examples of mHealth interventions include text messaging campaigns, mobile apps, and mobile websites. Health education is a critical component of public health efforts to improve health outcomes and reduce the burden of chronic diseases. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using innovative approaches and technologies to deliver health education interventions. These approaches have the potential to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and scalability of health education interventions. This review provides an overview of emerging trends and technologies in health education and their potential impact on promoting healthy behaviours and improving health outcomes.
