JMIR-Using Smartphones and Health Apps to Change and Manage Health Behaviors: A Population-Based Survey | Ernsting | Journal of Medical Internet Research


Description

Conclusions: Although there were many smartphone and health app users, a substantial proportion of the population was not engaged. Findings suggest age-related, socioeconomic-related, literacy-related, and health-related disparities in the use of mobile technologies. Health app use may reflect a user’s motivation to change or maintain health behaviors. App developers and researchers should take account of the needs of older people, people with low health literacy, and chronic conditions.
