Abstract (ENG): mHealth applications have a strong potential of improving care. This is especially true for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to care is often limited, but the mobile phones are broadly accessible. A large number of studies with mHealth applications for a number of health domains have been conducted. The findings of these studies were synthesized in a number of systematic reviews. The aim of this systematic review of systemic reviews is to synthesis the evidence of mHealth interventions in low- and middle-income countries across health domains. The protocol follows the Cochrane Handbook. The results will be reported using the PRISMA guidelines. We have defined the following PICO criteria: Patient characteristics • Patients diagnosed with chronic non-communicable diseases in Low- and Middle-Income Counties (LMICs), according to World Bank definition. Intervention/comparator • Mobile Health applications • Any other comparator Outcome data • Any health outcome Time frame • Published between January 1st 2010 to September 30th 2022 Study type • Randomized controlled trials
