Introduction: The increasing ubiquity of mobile devices and their advanced capabilities have paved the way for innovative solutions in healthcare. This article introduces a novel M-Health framework designed to leverage mobile technologies for enhancing healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes. The framework integrates various components to create a cohesive ecosystem that addresses contemporary healthcare challenges. Method: This M-Health framework is built upon a foundation of robust methodologies, combining elements of User-Centered Design, Persuasive Technology, governance and system. The study employs a qualitative approach, involving specialists from several backgrounds, including medical personnel and individuals with technology-based understanding. The interview sessions have been conducted, during which the respondents are being presented with the proposed framework. Following the interview session, respondents will complete a questionnaire and provide feedback on the framework. Subsequently, the comments are assessed and essential modifications are implemented to the framework in accordance with the feedback received. Results: The positive findings underscore the potential impact of the framework on patient outcomes, healthcare accessibility, and overall system efficiency. The adaptability of the framework allows it to be tailored to diverse healthcare settings, making it a valuable tool for healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients alike. Conclusion: As technology continues to advance, the proposed M-Health framework serves as a foundation for future innovations in mobile health, paving the way for a more connected and responsive healthcare ecosystem. © 2024 Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
