We conducted a literature review on the use of mobile health technology in caregiving in China. Our study included 2142 relevant articles, and our results show that mHealth can reduce caregiver burdens, improve decision-making, and provide self-management support. Our paper provides recommendations and theoretical references for the effective use of mHealth in caregiving.
