Mobile health (mHealth) technology is widely used in health care systems globally to improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the burden on caregivers.

Currently, there is a lack of all-inclusive research that presents sustainability evaluation from economic, social, and environmental perspectives of mHealth and wearables. Thus, it is important to evaluate the sustainability of newly proposed or already in-use mHealth solutions. The objective of this systematic literature review is to deeply understand and analyze different dimensions of sustainability in the health care domain…
