      <p><i>Background</i>: The Introduction of mobile health (mHealth) devices to health intervention studies challenges us as researchers to adapt how we analyse the impact of these technologies. For interventions involving chronic illness self-management, we must consider changes in behaviour in addition to changes in health. Fortunately, these mHealth technologies can record participants’ interactions ...

      <p><i>Background</i> The mass availability and use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies offers the potential for these technologies to support or substitute medical advice. However, it is worrisome that most assessment initiatives are still not able to successfully evaluate all aspects of mHealth solutions. As a result, multiple strategies to assess mHealth solutions are being proposed by medical ...

    • mHealth: opportunities and challenges for diabetes intervention research 

      Bradway, Meghan (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-03-12)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Traditionally, health intervention evaluations provide long-term evidence of efficacy and safety via validated protocols, following a positivist paradigm, or approach, to research. However, modern mobile health (mHealth) technologies develop too quickly and outside of medical regulation, making it challenging for health research to keep pace. <p><i>Objective:</i> This thesis ...

      Bradway, Meghan; Leibowitz, Kari; Garrison, Kathleen A.; Howe, Lauren; Årsand, Eirik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Psycho-social factors are often addressed in behavioral health studies. While the purpose of many mHealth interventions is to facilitate behavior change, the focus is more prominently on the functionality and usability of the technology and less on the psycho-social factors that contribute to behavior change. Here we aim to identify the extent to which mHealth interventions for patient self- management ...
