In addition, although often the target audience for requirement acquisition at the initial mHealth app design stage, it is a common challenge for them to fully conceptualize their needs for mHealth services that help self-manage chronic conditions.
Objective: This study proposes a novel co-design approach with the initial requirements for mHealth services proposed by clinicians based on their experiences in guiding patients to self-manage chronic conditions.
Background: Mobile health services are gradually being introduced to support patients' self-management of chronic conditions. The success of these services is contingent upon patients' continuous use of them.
Objective: This study aims to develop a model to measure the success of patients' continuous use of mobile health services for the self-management of chronic conditions.
Background: Hypertension affects over 15% of the world's population and is a significant global public health and socioeconomic challenge. Mobile health (mHealth) services have been increasingly introduced to support hypertensive patients to improve their self-management behaviors, such as adherence to pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications.
Objective: This study aims to explore patients' perceptions of mHealth services and the mechanisms by which the services support them to self-manage their hypertension.
Background: Identification of the essential components of the quality of the data collection process is the starting point for designing effective data quality management strategies for public health information systems. An inductive analysis of the global literature on the quality of the public health data collection process has led to the formation of a preliminary 4D component framework, that is, data collection management, data collection personnel, data collection system, and data collection environment. It is necessary to empirically validate the framework for its use in future research and practice.

The process is vital for the acquisition of high-quality data for ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China.
Methods: The study was carried out in China from September 2014 to April 2015.

This study aims to investigate the use of theory in mobile health interventions for patient self-management of chronic conditions, with a focus on hypertension. We identified six theories in ten studies that were reviewed. These included Health Belief Model, Social Cognitive Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, Transtheoretic Model, and Technology Acceptance Model.

Extant process assessment instruments and studies of public health data collection from electronic databases and the relevant institutional websites were reviewed and analyzed following a five-stage framework. Four dimensions covering 12 factors and 149 indicators were identified.

Thirty-nine electronic English and Chinese articles on data quality assessment of the Chinese AIDS information system were critically reviewed. Some performance assessment related indicators of data quality have improved since the system was launched in 2008. After a thematic analysis of the factors that may affect data quality, four domains were identified.
