Experiences of mobile health in promoting physical activity: A qualitative
systematic review and meta-ethnography.
PLoS One. 2018;13(12):e0208759

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Despite evidence supporting physical activity in primary and
secondary prevention, many individuals do not meet recommended levels.
Mobile health is a field with a growing evidence base and is proposed as a
convenient method for delivering health interventions. Despite qualitative
exploration of stakeholder perspectives, there is a lack of synthesis to
inform evidence-based design. This study aims to resolve this by
identifying and synthesising qualitative research on the experience of
using mobile health applications to promote physical activity.
METHOD: A systematic review focused on qualitative research, mobile health
and physical activity was conducted in October 2017 using CINAHL, ERIC,
EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases. The protocol was registered with
the Prospero database (Registration: CRD42018080610). Results were
synthesised as a meta-ethnography.
RESULTS: Fifteen studies were included, covering a variety of populations,
including people with diabetes, obesity, and serious mental illness. Five
themes emerged: (a) personal factors and the experience of using mobile
health, (b) mobile health and changes in thinking that support physical
activity, (c) the experience of mobile health features, including prompts,
goal setting and gamification, (d) the experience of personalised mobile
health and physical activity, (e) technical and user issues in mobile
health and their effect on experience.
CONCLUSION: Personal factors and features of the device influenced the
experience of using mobile health to support physical activity. The two
mechanisms through which mobile health use facilitated physical activity
were strengthening of motivation and changes in self-awareness and
strategising. Experiences were not entirely unproblematic as technical
issues and adverse effects related to self-monitoring were noted. This
synthesis provides insight into the experience of mobile health and is
useful for researchers and healthcare practitioners interested in designing
user-informed mobile health interventions for promoting physical activity.
