What is it about?
mHealth i.e. using mobile computing and communication technologies in health care has played an increasingly important role in the provision of medical care and undertaking self-health monitoring and management in the past two decades. Specifically, it becomes critically important for health care delivery when governments have been forced to impose quarantines and lock-downs during spikes of COVID-19 cases. This paper explores research on mHealth including its applications during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that four clusters of research topics were emerged, namely “COVID-19, mHealth, mobile applications, and public health”, “adult, adolescent, mental health, and major clinical study”, “human, pandemic, and epidemiology”, and “telemedicine, telehealth, and health care delivery”.
Perspectives
The use of mHealth-related technologies is so important during an outbreak such as the COVID-19. We hope that the study’s findings could shed light on mHealth (or mobile health) research for the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we identified the top authors, affiliations, and countries and highlighted the key themes emerged from the identified documents.
