Overview

Scoping review reveals two-way mHealth interventions show promise for HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, indicating a need for cancer-focused research.

Key Points

  • Most two-way, patient-centric mHealth interventions in sub-Saharan Africa have demonstrated positive outcomes, especially for HIV patients.
  • A total of 1,380 citations were screened, with 37 studies meeting inclusion criteria, primarily randomized controlled trials.
  • The interventions included messaging on medication adherence and status updates, which contributed to their success.
  • There is an urgent need to explore mHealth applications in cancer care, as the growing cancer burden remains largely unaddressed.
