The influence of mobile health applications on patient - healthcare provider relationships: A systematic, narrative review
Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of mobile health applications on various dimensions of patient and healthcare provider relationships.Methods A systematic, narrative review of English literature reporting experiences and outcomes of using mobile health applications was performed, evaluating communication and relationships between patients and healthcare professionals. Findings were framed thematically within the four dimensions of relationship-centred care. The methodological quality of included articles was appraised.Results Thirty-seven articles were included, all of them meeting tenets of relationship-centred care. After adopting mobile health applications patients perceived an overall positive impact on their relationship with healthcare providers, indicating they are ready to transition from traditional clinical ecounters to a different modality. Use of the applications supported patients in assuming active roles in the management of their health in collaboration with health professionals. Reluctance of providers to using mobile health needs to be acknowledged and addressed when encouraging wider use of applications in clinical practice.Conclusion The use of mobile health applications can influence communication and relationships between patients and providers positively, facilitating relationship-centered healthcare.Practice implication Implementation of mobile health can support patients' self-efficacy, improve access to healthcare services and improve relationships between patients and providers in ambulatory and hospital settings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
