The use of mHealth can include text reminders to take medications and check insulin, which can help patients like Andy who struggle with adhering to their prescribed treatment plan. This can lead to better management of the illness and improved health outcomes. While A and B may be benefits of mHealth, they do not directly help with Andy's adherence to his treatment plan. C may be a way for the doctor to monitor him, but it is not as effective as direct communication through text reminders.
