The utilization of mHealth applications for remote monitoring has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery by enhancing patient outcomes, increasing access to healthcare services, and reducing healthcare costs. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on mHealth applications for remote monitoring, including their types, benefits, challenges, and limitations, as well as future directions and research gaps. A systematic search of databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant articles published within the last 5 years. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize the findings. The review highlights various types of mHealth applications used for remote monitoring, such as telemedicine platforms, mobile apps for chronic disease management, and wearable devices. The benefits of these applications include improved patient outcomes, increased access to healthcare, reduced healthcare costs, and addressing healthcare disparities. However, challenges and limitations, such as privacy and security concerns, lack of technical infrastructure, regulatory is-sues, data accuracy, user adherence, and the digital divide, need to be addressed to ensure successful adoption and utilization of mHealth applications. Further research is required in areas such as the long-term effects of mHealth applications on patient outcomes, integration of mHealth data with electronic health records, and the development of artificial intelligence-driven mHealth applica-tions. By harnessing the potential of mHealth applications and addressing the existing challenges, healthcare delivery can be transformed towards a more accessible, cost-effective, and patient-centered model.
