A Bibliometric Analysis: Mobile Health (mHealth) Adoption: Assessing the Utilization of Mobile Health Apps in Promoting Healthy Behaviors

Abstract

In this bibliometric analysis of the research database regarding mobile health(m-Health) examine the role and promoting healthy behaviors in the era of 2010-2024.To fulfill this purpose data has taken from the well-established and scientific database. In this study, the publication trend influential authors, leading institutions and latest research themes are analyzed. The data analysis shows a purposeful increase in mobile health, especially in 2015 and onward. Their major focus is on behavioral changing interventions, use reengagement, and clinically effective outcomes. This analytical study provides valuable insight for the evaluation current working of mobile health.

Introduction

In this age of technology mobile health introduces powerful tools for the promotion of healthcare behaviors and health care system interventions in healthcare delivery systems. The involvement of smart phones has been increasing day by day and plays a key role. The mobile application plays a vital role in health-related activities, from fitness tracking to chronic disease management in healthcare system. In this bibliometric analysis the aim was to develop a comprehensive overview of the research database for mobile health and its effectiveness in the promotion of health after it adoption.
