Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence is alarmingly rising in India, one of the nations most affected by this epidemic. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer a promising approach to improving diabetes management by providing tools for self-monitoring, education, and support. This article explores the development and utility of mHealth interventions, focusing on Swayam Diabetes mHealth research in the Indian context. Drawing upon existing literature and empirical evidence, the article discusses the effectiveness, challenges, and future directions of m-Health interventions in T2DM management. Materials and methods A mixed research study qualitative n = 18 for testing of deigned interventions and quantitative n = 278 people conducted a DBMS questionnaire survey SUS global testing tool was needed for m-Health interventions on diabetes self-care management applications, with n = 55 participants evaluated using the System Usability Score and DBMS a using globally tested tool Result 78% of participants preferred using an app to monitor their self-care routine, including food intake, nutrition, physical activity, medication usage, and diabetes-related details. The study found a 5.1% improvement in self-care administration, with gender having little influence. Over 55% of participants used a daily diary and found self-management with m-health interventions beneficial. The study found three key themes: a user-centered tool, an interactive interface, and learning from other users. Conclusion The results of this study significantly support the alternative hypothesis of the research study and demonstrate a relationship between m-health and improved at-home diabetic self-care management.
