Do diabetes mHealth and online interventions evaluate what is important for users?

Abstract

Research often presents patient needs from perceptions of healthcare professionals and researchers. Today,
patients can formulate tailored questions and seek solutions for what they need to self-manage in many ways.
We aimed to compare reported outcomes of mHealth and online intervention studies for diabetes selfmanagement
to patient-reported needs, from a systematic review and a literature review respectively. Although
we found similarities between the reported outcomes and the patient-reported needs, research has yet to meet
all patient needs. Comprehensive methods for development and testing of interventions should be explored to
meet the specific needs of patients.
