OBJECTIVE: The primary study aim is to evaluate the impact of app-based mobile Health (mHealth) interventions on physical activity in healthy populations and examine whether personalisation moderates their effectiveness. The secondary aim is to explore the potential moderating role of social features. METHODS AND MEASURES: = 2,159 participants) were included with 23 total comparisons between postintervention and control groups. RESULTS: = 0.02). CONCLUSION: While mHealth interventions increase physical activity, personalisation features do not significantly influence their effectiveness. Additional research is needed to elucidate the impact of mHealth social features and potential individual difference factors on intervention effectiveness.
