Abstract:

Numerous studies have proven the role of behavioral risk factors in the prevalence and mortality of chronic non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the search for forms and methods of controlling these factors is an extremely important task. One of the promising directions in the correction of behavioral risk factors and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle is the use of mHealth technologies. Among the most promising of these is the use of text messages, both in the form of traditional SMS and the use of instant messengers, social networks and chat bots. This review presents modern aspects of the use of text messages in the prevention of chronic diseases.
