Introduction: Young adults unhealthy practices pave the way for acquiring Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) in their later adulthood. Technology has been widely used to empower individuals targeting unhealthy behaviors Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of the m-health nurse initiative on knowledge, lifestyle, and wellbeing regarding health promotion Methods: Mixed methods research approach – exploratory sequential research design was used. Young adults were screened for health risks. QUALITATIVE using intensity sampling, and phenomenological method Qualitative inputs were framed and the m-health nurse initiative package was developed. Using purposive sampling, 40 samples fullling inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected as 20 for quantitative data collection for both groups. Data was collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Prole-II and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being rating scale respectively. Statistical analysis of the backgroun Results: d variables revealed homogeneity between the groups. The results showed an improvement in the mean score of knowledge, lifestyle, and well-being in the study group by 5.55 (12.55-18.10), 30.35 (120.25-150.60), 11.85 (40.75-52.60), when compared with the control group 5 (12.10-12.70), 1.7 (119.80- 121.50), 0.45 (41.85-42.30) respectively. Inferential analysis showed very high statistical signicance in the study group. A fair positive correlation was identied between the variables, indicating that technology-enabled health information had a signicant impact on the other variables. Conclusions: m-Health Nurse Initiative has been found to have signicant impact in promoting health. The scaled-down version can serve as a portal access to all citizens.
