- Abstract
Using the mobile app was not a problem for most of the family caregivers given their technical know-how, but there were certain technical difficulties with the mobile app itself which created problems for the users, necessitating a restart of the app several times. For example, family caregivers were asked what they thought about the app, their experiences of using the app, and what they thought about the specific features of the app. Mobile health (mHealth) applications have increased throughout the world and have been developed for a wide variety of health interventions, predominantly as mobile applications (app) for self-care such as for asthma [[21]] and diabetes [[22]].
