- Abstract
Background: Parkinson is a movement disorder caused by insufficient release of dopamine, which causes slow movements and trembling of the limbs. Mobile Health is a new technology to discover ways to control diseases. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of mobile health in Parkinson's disease self-care education. Material and Methods: This review study was conducted in December 2022 by searching the keywords "Mobile health", "Self-care" and "Parkinson Disease" in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases and the Google Scholar search engine without time restrictions. Results: A total of 512 articles were searched, and after checking the full text of the articles, 4 articles were included in the study. According to the findings of the studies, in 75% of the articles, the positive and significant impact of mobile health on the process of self-care and control of non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, as well as motor symptoms to prevent the complications of lack of balance control, were mentioned. Also, in 25% of the articles, the increase of preventive psychosocial support for the patient's relatives in the early stages of disease was discussed through mobile health interventions. Conclusion: Mobile health can play a positive role in controlling the disease and mental pressures caused by the burden of the disease by doctors and the patient's relatives, as well as reducing the complications caused by motor and non-motor symptoms via educating self-care to patients with Parkinson's disease.
