Summary

This study aims to provide a mobile-apps-based intervention to facilitate individuals with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes to adopt healthy behaviours. The intervention is based on Motivational Interviewing, a clinical technique used to enhance an individual's behavioural changes. The proposed research project comprises developing and validating the "Health in Mobile" app, which we call e-MI, which will then be launched to members of the three District Health Centre Express (DCHEs) who have presented with clinical/preclinical chronic health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes. The participants are registered members of the three DCHEs. The targeted sample size is 1600 members, with 1200 are in the e-MI group while the other 400 are in the waiting list control group.

e-Motivational Interviewing

This study evaluates a 90-day mobile phone-based intervention using the e-Motivational Interviewing app for individuals with chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes. The app provides short conversations with health messages and reflective questions on lifestyle choices, such as physical activity and diet. The intervention incorporates "change talk" from Motivational Interviewing and principles from Basic Psychological Needs Theory (BPNT) to encourage positive behavior change. Users interact via multiple-choice questions, promoting self-assessment and reflection. The goal is to facilitate sustained lifestyle changes and improved health outcomes.
