Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Mobile health (mHealth) applications are redefining the healthcare landscape by enhancing patient engagement, medication adherence, and interaction between patients and pharmacists. These apps offer platforms for medication reminders, adherence monitoring, and patient education, empowering individuals to actively participate in their healthcare. However, their integration into pharmacy practice brings challenges, including digital literacy disparities, data security concerns, and over-reliance on technology. This paper examines the opportunities mHealth applications present for improving patient-pharmacist interaction, addresses the challenges they introduce, and proposes strategies for their effective integration into healthcare systems.
