| Abstract: | Technology has been recently found to be an effective tool to deliver public health interventions 1]. More specifically, the effects of interventions using apps to improve health have been targeted lately 2]. The goal of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of systematic reviews to summarize the scientific evidence. Three research questions were formulated to guide the research: RQ1. Are interventions using apps effective to improve PA? RQ2. Are interventions using apps effective to improve sedentary behavior? RQ3. Are interventions using apps effective to improve diet? This review of reviews was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022345909). Systematic reviews were included following the PICOTS framework (population, intervention, comparator, outcomes, time and setting). In addition, reviews with several research objectives were included only when they comprised more than two-thirds of the studies analyzing one or more of the objectives of this review. As a result, 12 systematic reviews were selected for data extraction. Findings uncovered that apps could be effective to improve individuals’ PA, sedentary behavior and diet. However, elements like the intervention components, the context/environment/setting, the length of the intervention or the population targeted should be carefully considered in future studies. |
