摘要：Opioid-related harm has become a major public health crisis around the world. There is a paucity of literature that examines the state of mHealth technologies in relation to the prevention and management of opioid-related harm. The purpose of this research is to examine the current state of knowledge with respect to mHealth technologies focused on opioid harm reduction and to identify gaps and technological opportunities. This research was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the completion of a scoping review in six peer-reviewed research databases and grey literature searches in two search engines. The second phase involved the development of a Patient Journey Map to describe the findings of the scoping review in order to identify mHealth gaps and opportunities in relation to the recovery-oriented cascade of care. For the scoping review, nine articles met the inclusion criteria. These articles focused on accessibility, utilization, acceptability, feasibility and patient outcomes of mHealth interventions. These studies showed mHealth interventions are highly accessible, utilized and acceptable to opioid users, feasible to implement and can improve appointment adherence and patient outcomes. The Patient Journey Map demonstrates future mHealth interventions should focus on the prevention, diagnosis and post-recovery phases of the patient journey.
