University Students' Usage of Mobile Health Applications

Öz

Purpose: Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) are used for exercising, tracking personal health and physical activity data, losing weight, dieting, and monitoring daily fluid intake. This study aimed to examine the use of mHealth apps among university students. Material and Method: A total of 899 university students were included in the study. We created a 19-question survey to examine individuals' reasons for using or not using mHealth apps, frequency of use, effectiveness, user profile, and other related factors. Results: 60.3% of the participants reported being aware of mHealth apps. 24.1% of the participants said they use an mHealth app, while 75.9% do not. mHealth applications are mainly used by students to monitor their physical activity levels. Conclusion: mHealth apps are effective and low-cost options for increasing people's physical activity, and efforts should be made to expand their use.
