High rates of comorbid physical and mental health conditions are documented among refugee populations. A dearth of evidence exists on the use of mHealth technologies to support integrated health care models, with interprofessional mental and physical healthcare teams, within the field of refugee health, despite the potential for mHealth technologies to reduce barriers to health care access for vulnerable populations. This conceptual article illustrates how mHealth can facilitate integrated health care models with refugees with comorbid conditions. Implications are made to support the application of mHealth technologies within integrated health care models serving at-risk refugee populations.
难民群体中存在大量的身心共病健康状况。尽管移动医疗技术有可能减少弱势群体获得医疗保健的障碍，但在难民健康领域，移动医疗技术支持跨专业的身心保健团队的综合医疗保健模式的应用证据却很少。本文概念性地阐述了移动医疗技术如何为共病患者提供便利，以促进综合医疗保健模式的发展。同时，还提出了一些建议，以支持移动医疗技术在为高危难民群体服务的综合医疗保健模式中的应用。
