“…The app developed in this study did not include elements that could build trust with the users, elements that could increase interest such as through virtual reality 45 or gamified team-building 46 , and the user experience design process. In addition, another study on self-management app usability among PLWH found that the usability of the app sections differed according to the participants' HIV infection stage 47 . For example, PLWH in the early disease stage used educational information more frequently, and PLWH in the later disease stage used reminders more often 47 .…”

People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) in Korea demonstrate insufficient self-management behaviors. Especially during pandemics such as COVID-19, technology-based self-management programs are needed to overcome time and space limitations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a self-management program using a mobile app (Health Manager) on self-management outcomes among PLWH in Korea. A randomized controlled pilot trial was performed and participants were enrolled in the infectious outpatient clinic of a single hospital. The intervention group used the mobile app for 4 weeks, while the control group received self-management education materials in a portable document format. The online self-report questionnaire assessed primary outcomes including self-efficacy for self-management, self-management behaviors, and medication adherence, and secondary outcomes including perceived health status, depression, and perceived stigma. Thirty-three participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 17) or the control group (n = 16). In the intention-to-treat analysis, self-efficacy for self-management and self-management behaviors increased, while perceived stigma decreased. The app-based self-management program could be considered a helpful strategy to improve self-management outcomes among PLWH and reduce their perceived stigma during the pandemic. Further studies with larger samples and longer follow-ups are needed.Trial registration: Clinical Research Information Service, KCT0004696 [04/02/2020].

HIV/AIDS is an infectious disease and a cause of death in Indonesia. This disease requires medication adherence. Education plays an important role in the success of treatment adherence of HIV/AIDS patients. This study aims to analyze the use of smartphones in education on HIV/AIDS. The research design is a literature review using a systematic review by collecting research articles on the use of smartphones in education for HIV/AIDS patients. There are 10 research articles, with a period of 2017-2022. The results of the analysis of the articles show that the use of smartphone-based applications plays an important role in increasing the compliance of HIV/AIDS patients undergoing ARV treatment.

“…41 On the other hand, most of the existing self-care tools for chronically ill patients aim to provide help by interacting with health care workers. 42 As the number of the patients with diabetes is on the rise, the presented concepts of self-support and self-care is of utmost importance to help the patients achieve the best possible management. 43 Current diabetes self-care apps are able to make self-care more convenient for the patient by providing structured education programs, streamlining data collection and using inputted data to track the user's progress.…”

Introduction: Mobile-based applications play a leading role in changes in life-style, improve medication adherence, and provide a unique opportunity to aid patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) elevate their healthcare level. Therefore, we aim to design and develop a mobile-based self-care application for patients with T2DM. Methods: The present study was an applied and developmental study to design and develop a mobile-based self-care application for people living with T2DM conducted in 2020. The design and development of the T2DM self-care application were done in 2 main phases of determining the key features and capabilities, and design and development of the T2DM self-care mobile app. Results: We identified the main model and a set of capabilities and features for the T2DM self-care application. By content analysis on 32 different applications and a previous study by the author, 18 features were extracted for the T2DM self-care mobile app. JAVA programming languages were used to design T2DM applications. Moreover, because of the cost-effectiveness, the Android operating system (AOS) was selected as a platform, and because of the widespread use of smartphones; these phones were chosen as the format of T2DM self-care application. Conclusions: In this study, we design and develop a mobile-based self-care application for patients with type 2 diabetes that shows potential in solving the shortcomings of mobile apps for diabetes care. By utilizing the T2DM self-care mobile app we are able to deploy a self-care application with a wide range of functionality such as text messaging, blood glucose monitoring, insulin dose suggestions, educational messaging, metabolic management, pedometer counts, and reporting. Future studies are needed to develop self-care applications for a different type of diabetes with different functions of diabetes care.
