Abstract:
Objective:To conduct a scoping review of research on the application of mobile health technology in patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgery, providing a reference for related practice.Methods:PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, Wanfang data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc were searched using terms including mobile, smart, remote, internet, bariatric, and metabolic. The search timeframe was from database inception to October 30, 2024. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened, and two researchers independently extracted, summarized, and analyzed the information.Results:A total of 31 studies were included. Mobile health technology was mainly applied in the form of smartphone applications for patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgery. The main content included postoperative dietary management, exercise guidance, and health data monitoring. The main evaluation elements involved effectiveness (behavioral change and weight loss outcomes, readmission rate, quality of life, psychological status, adherence, and economic benefits) and patient satisfaction.Conclusions:Currently, mobile health technology is mainly used via smartphone applications to manage diet and exercise for postoperative bariatric patients. It can improve postoperative weight loss outcomes, reduce negative emotions, enhance adherence, and achieve good self-management. In the future, multidisciplinary teams should be established to conduct large-scale high-quality studies, continuously improve the forms and content of mobile health management, and implement comprehensive preoperative and postoperative management for bariatric patients.
