Abstract

The design of ehealth and mhealth interventions is grounded in interconnected fields, mainly education, health, behavioral psychology, communication, and technology. To provide an overview of these interconnections, this chapter begins with a presentation of key concepts and terms related to elearning, mlearning, ehealth, and mhealth, providing an overview of their definitions and understanding. This is followed by a discussion of ehealth and mhealth theories that shed the light on the factors that prompt health behavior. Next, elearning design principles are explained as they play an important role in the design of interventions. The last section of the chapter addresses ehealth and mhealth spread of use, prominent applications, their benefits, and their challenges.
