Abstract

The study reported in this article aimed to identify: i) the most relevant application domains of mHealth to support older adults in their domiciles; ii) the most relevant chronic conditions of older adults, whose management is being supported by mHealth; iii) the characteristics, outcomes and impacts of mHealth tools that might support older adults in their domiciles. The method of a systematic review of reviews and meta-analyses was performed based on a search of the literature. The result of a total of 66 reviews and meta-analyses across several chronic diseases were retrieved. These studies compare mHealth interventions with usual care. The conclusion is that mHealth interventions have positive effects on various health related outcomes, but further research is required to allow their incorporation in the clinical practice.
