Guidance

Overview

"This guideline covers interventions that use a digital or mobile platform to help people eat more healthily, become more active, stop smoking, reduce their alcohol intake or practise safer sex. The interventions include those delivered by text message, apps, wearable devices or the internet. The guideline only includes those that are delivered by the technology itself and not by healthcare professionals using technology to deliver interventions."

Recommendations

"This guideline includes recommendations on: developing digital and mobile health interventions; comissioning and using digital and mobile health interventions and interventions for diet and smoking. Additionally, it also includes recommendations on behaviour change for alcohol, smoking and unsafe sexual behaviour. Recommendations include using digital and mobile interventions as an adjunct to existing services and the use of advice and self-monitoring tools."
