Abstract
In an era when there are nearly 332 million mobile phone users in the United States, and 5.6 billion worldwide, it is important to explore the clinical, research, and health implications of smartphone technology for personal and public health (Salehan & Negahban, 2011; Abroms, Padmanabhan, Thaweethai, & Phillips, 2011). Existing research suggest that mobile phones can be an effective platform to influence users' health decisions, and be utilized as an effective tool in promoting behavioral change (e.g., smoking cessation, weight loss, STD prevention, exercise and physical activity).The purpose of this article is to review literature that examined the use of mobile phones and smartphone health applications as mobile platforms for delivery of personalized care at the patients' convenience in support for chronic illness management and health promotion.
