Background of the Study
Mobile health (mHealth) applications have emerged as powerful tools in improving healthcare access and disease management, especially in low-resource settings. These applications enable remote monitoring of patients, facilitate communication between healthcare providers and patients, and promote self-management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In Nigeria, mHealth initiatives have been introduced to enhance healthcare delivery, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Adamawa State, located in northeastern Nigeria, faces significant healthcare challenges, including inadequate medical infrastructure and limited access to specialized care. With a growing reliance on mobile technology, mHealth applications have the potential to bridge healthcare gaps by improving disease management and monitoring. However, the extent to which mHealth applications have improved disease management in Adamawa State remains unclear. This study seeks to evaluate the impact of mHealth applications on disease management, focusing on accessibility, patient engagement, and treatment adherence.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the proliferation of mobile health applications in Nigeria, their adoption and impact on disease management in Adamawa State have not been adequately studied. Barriers such as low digital literacy, poor network connectivity, and skepticism toward digital health solutions may limit their effectiveness. This study aims to investigate how mHealth applications contribute to disease management in Adamawa State and identify challenges affecting their usage.
