Abstract

With the rapid advancement of mobile technologies, mobile health is going through a massive digital revolution that is reshaping the current way of health decision making. This study takes initiatives to investigate the manifestation of shared decision making model in mobile health for better decision quality and outcome. Hence, we propose an Activity Theory-driven framework for analysing mobile health management to achieve informed health choices. It establishes strong theoretical foundations and comprehensive requirements for designing mobile health interventions in the direction of supportive and collaborative decision making. The study contributes to the cumulative theoretical development of mobile health and shared decision making. It also provides an agenda for automated mobile health and a number of implications for academic bodies, healthcare practitioners, and developers of mobile health.
