An integrated model for mHealth lifestyle management (MLM)

When discussing mHealth lifestyle management, investigators typically discuss the behaviors connected with these activities. However, behaviors are only the activities that may be seen from outside. the thinking habits of persons seeking to better their health are crucial [57]. Despite rational thinking, patients may lack the drive to achieve desired actions. Psychology has long understood that focusing on outer behavior is inadequate to understand human decision-making and hence provides a significant viewpoint on engagement and sustainable habits. Human factor psychology depends on the understanding that individuals are part of a larger system that includes the surrounding environment in which they perform their duties [58]. Traditionally, human factor psychology in healthcare has centered on how doctors and nurses think and behave. However, researchers have widened their focus to include the patient as an integral component of the healthcare team lately [58, 59]. Therefore, a “systems approach” emphasizes an environment in which an association exists between the patient’s ideas and behaviors [60, 61]. Understanding mental abilities information, and the factors that determine why patients become involved and/or motivated in healthy lifestyle behaviors may provide us with a wealth of information about the difficulties they experience in maintaining such practices. Lippa, Klein, and Shalin [62] emphasize the importance of understanding patient cognition while seeking to examine and change patient behaviors. Poor glucose control was associated with difficulties in self-management, and investigators concluded that this was “not due to a lack of improvement or intelligence, but rather to inadequate understanding of self-care.” Participants “did not recognize the significance of physical activities in controlling glucose and were subsequently unable to improve their level of activity,” [63]. According to the study conducted by Holden et al., and as supported by the integrated model, individuals play a crucial role in the work system, emphasizing the need to design systems that effectively facilitate human activities [64]. In the framework of patient-centered healthcare, individuals who play a role in managing patient well-being include clinicians, patients, family caregivers, and various groups or teams such as clinicians, family members, faith-based communities, and mental wellness counselors. These people and organizations are responsible for carrying out tasks related to both physical and mental healthcare. In addition to individuals, the sociotechnical environment has been simplified to include four fundamental factors:

Health tasks include human behaviors performed within a wider work process, irrespective of their level of difficulty, complexity, or range of diversity.
