Almost every country worldwide suffers from one or more types of malnutrition. Mobile technology (mHealth) interventions seem to represent a promising approach to this problem because they help share information about healthy eating patterns, offer motivation for behavioral change, etc. From this perspective we introduce a theoretical model that attempts to explain the gap that currently prevails between the elements involved in the development of nutritional mHealth strategies (which we have called the Great GApp). Evidence tells us that it is necessary to consider all the parts involved to ensure positive outcomes of an mHealth-based nutritional intervention: patients, health care providers, and stakeholders (technological companies). If these elements are not considered in the design of mHealth strategies a Great GApp arises, which may lead to lack of adherence to the proposed change, and decrease the potential for improving the quality of health outcomes.
世界上几乎每个国家都存在一种或多种营养不良问题。移动技术(移动健康)干预措施似乎是解决这一问题的一种很有前景的方法,因为它们有助于分享有关健康饮食模式的信息,为行为改变提供动力等。从这个角度出发,我们引入一个理论模型,试图解释目前营养移动健康策略制定过程中各要素之间存在的差距(我们称之为“巨大差距”)。有证据表明,有必要考虑所有相关部分,以确保基于移动健康的营养干预取得积极成果:患者、医疗保健提供者和利益相关者(科技公司)。如果在移动健康策略设计中不考虑这些要素,就会出现“巨大差距”,这可能导致对提议的改变缺乏依从性,并降低改善健康结果质量的可能性。
