Systematic Review Finds Insufficient Mobile-App Effectiveness
|
6.1
A systematic review published in JMIR Mhealth Uhealth (2026) assessed randomized trials up to June 2025 comparing interventions with and without mobile apps for physical activity and diet in healthy adults. Only two RCTs met inclusion for physical activity and none for diet or combined interventions; the evidence was rated low due to high risk of bias, missing data, and deviations. Consequently, app effectiveness remains undetermined and higher-quality trials are needed.
Scoring Rationale
Moderate relevance due to systematic review design, but very few low-quality trials sharply limit actionable conclusions.
