2
,Why use mHealth?
- Great use of internet (great possibilities)

- Infromation about health: 69%
- NL age 65+
- Access to internet: 87,4%
- Use of internet: 61,2%
- Information about health: 51,8%
➔ The use of mHealth could be important for this group, since they are less mobile to reach a doctor
- Mobile phones are used everywhere/people are constantly connected with their phones → immediate
- Cost-efficient
- Easy to access/always accessible
- Easy to reach a large population
- Anonimity
- Make health more ‘fun’
- Increasing adherence/self-management (of chronic disorders)/health literacy
- Collecting data about health
- Can be individualized
Advantages of internet interventions:
- Low costs user and provider
- Reach patients without access to services
- Convenience in use
- Reducing stigma
- Present info in variety of formats
- Ease of tailoring adice
- Automated encouragement, feedback and reminders
➔ Potential for practical and cost-effective delivery of interventions capable of reaching many individuals
Example: diabetes

- Control glucose levels
- See progresss
- Tips (self-management)
- Communication with doctors
Disadvantages of mHealth
- Data security
- Skills and design possibilities
- Data entry and screen size
- Maintenance
- Attention span
- Dropout
- Internet/WIFI availability
➔ Many eHealth/mHealth interventions, but little evidence
For example: only a small percentage of apps were developed with identifiable professional input
