Outside controlled research settings, where clinician involvement often drives engagement, little is known about whether, how, and why people engage with mHealth apps based on intrinsic motivation alone. Existing systematic reviews have cataloged behavioral engagement indicators but rarely assess the mechanisms underlying engagement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"objective\">\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This overview of systematic reviews aimed to (1) synthesize evidence on how engagement with mHealth apps for LTCs is defined, measured, and associated with health outcomes, (2) explore intrinsic and extrinsic motivational processes underlying engagement, and (3) provide practical guidance for developing scalable, user-centered digital health interventions that sustain sufficient engagement with minimal reliance on external drivers. Uniquely, we interpreted modifiable barriers and facilitators through a motivational lens that distinguishes extrinsic from intrinsic motives, mapping intrinsic motives onto autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as proposed by Self-Determination Theory (SDT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Searches of MEDLINE, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, and gray literature (inception to June 9, 2025) identified systematic reviews reporting engagement indicators, engagement-outcome associations, or barriers and facilitators among adults with LTCs. Quantitative reviews were appraised using AMSTAR 2 (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2), and qualitative and mixed methods reviews were appraised using CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme). A narrative synthesis was undertaken, and modifiable barriers and facilitators were independently mapped by 2 reviewers to extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and, for intrinsic factors, to the SDT constructs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion with the wider research team.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nineteen reviews (12 quantitative, 5 mixed methods, and 2 qualitative) were included from 4684 records. Fourteen (74%) reviews did not define engagement, and the remaining 5 equated it with \u201cusage\u201d or \u201cadherence,\u201d precluding meta-analysis. Fourteen reviews reported microlevel behavioral indicators, but none captured macrolevel or effective engagement. Eight assessed engagement-outcome links; 7 reported positive associations, and 1 reported no effect. Seven reviews included nonmodifiable factors that influence engagement (eg, ethnicity), while 13 included modifiable factors. SDT mapping revealed that modifiable factors influencing autonomy (eg, personal relevance, flexibility), competence (eg, usability, technical support), and relatedness (eg, clinician endorsement, peer connection) underpin intrinsic engagement, whereas extrinsic barriers include restrictions to access (including cost).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence on engagement with mHealth apps remains conceptually inconsistent and methodologically fragmented, but motivational patterns are clear: engagement depends largely on intrinsic motives once external conditions are satisfied. Applying SDT provides the first mechanism-oriented explanation of how engagement operates, enabling practical recommendations for evaluating existing apps and designing future mHealth interventions that support autonomy, competence, and relatedness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/88382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,26]],"date-time":"2026-06-26T20:05:07Z","timestamp":1782504307000},"page":"e88382-e88382","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mechanisms of Engagement With Mobile Health Apps for Adults With Long-Term Conditions: Overview of Systematic Reviews"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4710-6131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeni","family":"Baykoca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6722-7106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Goretti","family":"Hurtado Barbeito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7393-191X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina Joanne","family":"Pearce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7628-882X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Madison","family":"Milne-Ives","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0672-2621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Hudson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1714-9963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sam","family":"Norton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2927-3446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rona","family":"Moss-Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ownby RL Waldrop D Davenport R et al.
