THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A MOBILE HEALTH APP FOR TAILORED HEALTHCARE EDUCATION WITH A MIGRANT INDIAN POPULATION IN HONG KONG
Mobile health applications can allow for care providers to reach a broader audience than in-person interventions can. Additionally, in times of a pandemic like COVID-19, care can be provided in a safer way for providers and for patients. A mobile health app was developed to teach about the prevention and treatment of hypertension and diabetes. This app was specifically designed and tailored for an Indian population since these noncommunicable diseases are large contributors to death in Indian adults. Previous work targeted an Indian population in India, but this work explores the impact of the app with a migrant Indian working population in Hong Kong. Participants showed statistically significant learning gains in knowledge about both hypertension and diabetes as a result of using the app’s animations and games. This demonstrates the effectiveness of mobile health apps at providing targeted healthcare education.
