Design considerations for post-acute care mHealth: patient perspectives.
The authors are developing an mHealth platform to engage patients in wound tracking to identify and manage surgical site infections (SSI) after hospital discharge. Their key design qualities include: meeting basic accessibility, usability and security needs; encouraging patient-centeredness; facilitating better, more predictable communication; and supporting personalized management by providers. In this article, they illustrated their application of these guiding design considerations and proposed a new framework for mHealth design based on illness duration and intensity.

How do mobile phone diabetes programs drive behavior change? Evidence from a mixed methods observational cohort study.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavioral effects of a theory-driven, mobile phone–based intervention that combines automated text messaging and remote nursing, using an automated, interactive text messaging system. It found that the intervention was associated with improvements in 5 of 6 domains of self-care (medication taking, glucose monitoring, foot care, exercise, and healthy eating).

Mobile phone diabetes project led to improved glycemic control and net savings for Chicago plan participants.
Mobile phones are a promising tool to use in engaging patients in behavior change and facilitating self-care between visits. The researchers examined the impact of a six-month mobile health (mHealth) demonstration project among adults with diabetes. In addition to pre-post improvements in glycemic control and patients’ satisfaction with overall care, they observed a net cost savings of 8.8 percent.
