Objective:To implement scoping review of the quality evaluation tool for mobile medical applications (mHealth APP) based on the perspective of health promotion, so as to provide reference for the development or introduction of tools suitable for China and provide inspiration for conducting high quality mHealth APP electronic health intervention research.Methods:Following the method of scoping review, mHealth APP quality evaluation tool development and validation articles published from January 2008 to February 2022 were systematically searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science, SCOPUS, CINAHL, PsyINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data and China Biomedical Literature Database. This study extracted the basic information of the tool and used topic analysis to summarize and integrate the content of the tool items.Results:A total of 27 studies were included, involving 14 mHealth APP quality evaluation tools. The theme analysis process of evaluating the content of items generated a total of 300 primary codes, which were classified into four themes, including software attributes, medical science, behavioral science, and user experience.Conclusions:As a cross disciplinary product, the mHealth app faces multiple challenges in terms of quality. At present, the focus of existing quality evaluation tools varies, among which scientific evaluation originates from the special positioning of mHealth APP and needs to be taken seriously. Different evaluation perspectives may be potential factors that affect the quality evaluation results, and as a key link, users' needs need to be further focused and explored.
