“…The use of individually tailored information has been shown to be effective in promoting beneficial health behavior changes in adults in other contexts as well. 29,30,31 Although text messaging has been the most popular tool for facilitating behavioral interventions towards effective chronic disease self-care support, only a small percentage of American adults living with chronic diseases receives the benefits of text messaging for their health care support. 32,33,34 With advances in mobile health services and the widespread use of mobile phones in the Asian American population and in other ethnic minority populations, text messaging may be a powerful, costeffective way to facilitate communication between the patients and health care personnel, thereby improving health literacy and care disparity in ethnic minority populations.…”

“…These results are congruent with the results of other studies on chronically ill patients, which have demonstrated high levels of receptivity and satisfaction. 29,30 Limitations of the study We recognize that there are some limitations in our study. First, the sample size (n=32) is small, and the participants in this study may not be representative of the overall Korean American or other ethnic minority populations in the United States.…”

Background: Despite the high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Asian Americans and other ethnic groups, a majority of these populations remains unscreened and unprotected. A large percentage of those who are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are not linked to care owing to a poor health care access. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of mobile text messaging in engaging individuals with hepatitis B or at risk for it, and to assess their acceptance of text messaging interventions. Materials and Methods:A total of 32 individuals who were either chronically infected with HBV or non-immune to HBV were assigned to a patient navigator (PN), who subsequently arranged for the subjects to communicate through text messaging. The frequency and contents of messages between the subjects and the PN were evaluated. After the three month intervention period, results on linkage to care (LTC) were obtained. A self-report questionnaire was employed to assess the subjects' feedback on the use of text messaging.Results: All of 32 participants responded to the PNs with either text messaging or phone calls. The most frequent message themes were finding doctors and appointment reminders. Fourteen of 16 HBV infected subjects were linked to physicians, and all of 16 non-immune subjects received one or two vaccinations. The survey revealed strong receptivity to and acceptance of the use of text messaging.Conclusions: Mobile text messaging intervention provides a platform for patients to engage with medical personnel, thereby improving their access to healthcare.

“…The tailoring of diabetes-specific text messages remains an area of opportunity to improve medication adherence and provide motivation to adults with diabetes but further research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness. Personalized text advices have proven to produce a positive impact on patients' empowerment, self-management, and adherence to prescriptions (Gatwood et al 2014). mHealth can be used for offering self-management support programs to diabetes patients and at the same time surmounting the technical and financial difficulties involved in diabetes treatment (Free et al 2013).…”

“…Sin embargo, se necesita más investigación para entender totalmente su eficacia. Los consejos de texto personalizados han demostrado causar un impacto positivo en la atribución de poder a los pacientes, su autogestión y su adherencia a la prescripción (Gatwood et al, 2014). mHealth se puede utilizar para ofrecer programas de asistencia de autogestión a los pacientes con diabetes y, al mismo tiempo, superar las dificultades técnicas y financieras que supone el tratamiento de la diabetes (Free at al., 2013).…”

BackgroundGovernments and health systems are increasingly using mobile devices to communicate with patients and the public. Targeted digital client communication is when the health system transmits information to particular individuals or groups of people, based on their health or demographic status. Common types of targeted client communication are text messages that remind people to go to appointments or take their medicines. Other types include phone calls, interactive voice response, or multimedia messages that offer healthcare information, advice, monitoring, and support.ObjectivesTo explore clients' perceptions and experiences of targeted digital communication via mobile devices on topics related to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, or adolescent health (RMNCAH).Search methodsWe searched MEDLINE (OvidSP), MEDLINE In‐Process & Other Non‐Indexed Citations (OvidSP), Embase (Ovid), World Health Organization Global Health Library, and POPLINE databases for eligible studies from inception to 3‐6 July 2017 dependant on the database (See appendix 2).Selection criteriaWe included studies that used qualitative methods for data collection and analysis; that explored clients' perceptions and experiences of targeted digital communication via mobile device in the areas of RMNCAH; and were from any setting globally.Data collection and analysisWe used maximum variation purposive sampling for data synthesis, employing a three‐step sampling frame. We conducted a framework thematic analysis using the Supporting the Use of Research Evidence (SURE) framework as our starting point. We assessed our confidence in the findings using the GRADE‐CERQual (Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach. We used a matrix approach to explore whether potential implementation barriers identified in our synthesis had been addressed in the trials included in the related Cochrane Reviews of effectiveness.Main resultsWe included 35 studies, from a wide range of countries on six continents. Nineteen studies were conducted in low‐ and middle‐income settings and sixteen in high‐income settings. Some of the studies explored the views of people who had experienced the interventions, whereas others were hypothetical in nature, asking what people felt they would like from a digital health intervention. The studies covered a range of digital targeted client communication, for example medication or appointment reminders, prenatal health information, support for smoking cessation while pregnant, or general sexual health information.Our synthesis showed that clients' experiences of these types of programmes were mixed. Some felt that these programmes provided them with feelings of support and connectedness, as they felt that someone was taking the time to send them messages (moderate confidence in the evidence). They also described sharing the messages with their friends and family (moderate confidence).However, clients also pointed to problems when using these programmes. Some clients had poor access to cell networks and t...
