Scoping Review Evaluates Calorie-Counting Apps Effectiveness
Researchers from Canadian institutions publish a scoping review (JMIR Mhealth Uhealth, Apr 1, 2026) of calorie-counting mHealth apps, analyzing literature from Jan 2013–Mar 2024. They identified 46 apps across 68 studies (23 RCTs), found common features—manual calorie logging (98%), personalization, and automation—and report adherence decline; they propose 12 recommendations to improve acceptability and clinical usability.
Scoring Rationale
Solid, timely scoping review published in JMIR summarizing 68 studies and 46 apps with practical recommendations; high credibility and actionability. Score reflects moderate novelty and scope within mHealth but limited relevance to core AI/ML topics.
