Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of mobile health (mHealth) technologies presents promising opportunities for addressing complex health challenges, including obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders. mHealth technologies facilitate personalized interventions, enabling tailored prevention strategies and treatment plans adapted to each individual’s needs. Effective interventions incorporate nutrition and other health behaviors, such as physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. Additionally, early life exposures and maternal health play a critical role in shaping long-term metabolic trajectories, thereby shaping adult health and disease risk.
This Special Issue aims to bring together original high-quality research, reviews, and meta-analyses on the development, implementation, and evaluation of mHealth interventions targeting nutrition, lifestyle, and metabolic management across various stages of life. We welcome studies that explore innovative mHealth tools, including mobile health apps, wearable devices, telehealth platforms, and other mobile-based communication technologies to prevent and manage metabolic disorders through nutrition and lifestyle interventions aiming to enhance overall health and well-being. Submissions focusing on interdisciplinary approaches and the integration of mHealth interventions into clinical and community settings are particularly encouraged.
