We systematically mapped the breadth of research related to three topic areas: mobile and electronic devices, technology based healthcare delivery, and aging populations and/or chronic conditions. From the research question “What are the current practices and recommendations for designing, implementing and evaluating mHealth solutions to support older adults living in their homes?” we identified 42 studies. Report to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, February 2016. To ensure success, a user-centered, collaborative, interdisciplinary and iterative approach is imperative to enhance feasibility, acceptability and usability of mHealth innovations. Implementation within systems or organizations requires a thorough understanding of culture, values and context readiness from researchers.
