Background: Mobile health (mHealth) apps are increasingly being used to capture patient health data, provide information, and guide self-management, with reported improvements in health care service delivery and outcomes. However, the impact of integrating mHealth app data into electronic medical record or electronic health record (EMR/EHR) systems remains underexplored. Objective: This study aims to identify what is known about the impact of integrating mHealth app data into EMR/EHR systems on health care delivery and patient outcomes. Methods: A scoping review was conducted to identify original studies that investigated the integration of patient-facing mHealth app data into EMR/EHR systems and the impact on health care outcomes. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, ProQuest, and PsycINFO databases were searched for papers published between January 2014 and July 2024. Two authors independently screened and extracted data on study characteristics, mHealth app features, details of integration with EMR/EHR systems, and effects on health care delivery and patient outcomes. Results: Nineteen studies with 113,135 participants were included. Among these, 6 were randomized clinical trial studies, 8 were conducted in the United States, 12 occurred in hospital settings, 15 involved adult participants, and 6 targeted diabetes management. Main features of the apps and EMR/EHR systems can be categorized into tracking or recording health data (n=19), app data int...
