Dr. Laura Rice and her team conducted a systematic literature review titled “mHealth Learning Strategies to Support Behavior Change in Individuals Using Wheelchairs and/or Scooters: A Systematic Review“. Published in Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology Journal, this review synthesizes the literature on mobile health (mHealth) applications designed to support health behavior change for individuals with any disabilities who use wheelchairs and/or scooters. The study identified nine pertinent articles and revealed that effective mHealth apps feature intuitive, user-friendly designs with customization options to adapt to individual learning styles and preferences. The review supports the feasibility of mHealth apps for promoting behavior change in this population and emphasizes the need for further research into optimal training practices for users, long-term behavior maintenance, and the identification of key elements that drive successful outcomes in mHealth interventions.
