“…emails, texts) when promoting self‐monitoring of diet and PA . Practical considerations include costs, power consumption (especially when using wireless sensors where a cell phone is the main processing hub) , availability of offsite servers to connect with , availability of technologies including proprietary software , and software and hardware compatibilities . Clearly, user‐centred designs are needed to forge the link between the technology and the intended audience while effectively addressing determinants of behaviour change to take full advantage of the technology being employed.…”

“…SMS was used in RCTs (in addition to other forms of contact as email, calls, websites) (7,9,10,13) in pilot intervention studies (23,(28)(29)(30) and was formatively evaluated in design studies (31)(32)(33). Mobile apps and games with or without sensors were the most commonly employed technology in pilot intervention and user studies and often focused on accurately measuring or promoting increased PA and behaviours (15)(16)(17)(18)(20)(21)(22)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)47) and accurately recording and/or improving dietary intake (14,19,(42)(43)(44)(45)(46). Several apps and games increased PA (20)(21)(22), readiness to change PA behaviours (15), decreased perceived barriers and perceived efforts to exercise (15,16), and increased breakfast (14) and FV consumption (19).…”

Mobile health (mHealth) is a relatively nascent field, with a variety of technologies being explored and developed. Because of the explosive growth in this field, it is of interest to examine the design, development, and efficacy of various interventions as research becomes available. This systematic review examines current use of mobile health technologies in the prevention or treatment of pediatric obesity to catalogue the types of technologies utilized and the impact of mHealth to improve obesity-related outcomes in youth. Of the 4021 articles that were identified, 41 articles met inclusion criteria. Seventeen intervention studies incorporated mHealth as the primary or supplementary treatment. The remaining articles were in the beginning stages of research development and most often described moderate to high usability, feasibility, and acceptability. Although few effects were observed on outcomes such as body mass index, increases in physical activity, self-reported breakfast and fruit and vegetable consumption, adherence to treatment, and self-monitoring were observed. Findings from this review suggest that mHealth approaches are feasible and acceptable tools in the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity. The large heterogeneity in research designs highlights the need for more agile scientific processes that can keep up with the speed of technology development.

“…This has motivated researchers to develop a specialized IoT service called children health information (CHI) to address this need in an effective manner. In this regard, an interactive totem placed in a pediatric ward offering CHI services aimed at educating, amusing, and empowering hospitalized children is proposed in [54], and an IoT-based m-health service that can encourage children to acquire good nutritional habits with the help of their teachers and parents is presented in [44].…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) makes smart objects the ultimate building blocks in the development of cyber-physical smart pervasive frameworks. The IoT has a variety of application domains, including health care. The IoT revolution is redesigning modern health care with promising technological, economic, and social prospects. This paper surveys advances in IoT-based health care technologies and reviews the state-of-the-art network architectures/platforms, applications, and industrial trends in IoT-based health care solutions. In addition, this paper analyzes distinct IoT security and privacy features, including security requirements, threat models, and attack taxonomies from the health care perspective. Further, this paper proposes an intelligent collaborative security model to minimize security risk; discusses how different innovations such as big data, ambient intelligence, and wearables can be leveraged in a health care context; addresses various IoT and eHealth policies and regulations across the world to determine how they can facilitate economies and societies in terms of sustainable development; and provides some avenues for future research on IoT-based health care based on a set of open issues and challenges.
