Abstract
Although there is disparity in access to mobile health (mHealth) services among people with disabilities, several smartphone and tablet-based mHealth applications are available that may affect the care of patients in rehabilitation medicine. This article reviews the current evidence for and breadth of application-based mHealth interventions in rehabilitation medicine, including comprehensive self-management mHealth services; weight management mHealth services; diagnosis-specific mHealth services for individuals with brain, spinal cord, musculoskeletal, or other injury types; and nonmedical services to improve community and social integration.
