| description | Dear Editor,
Mobile messaging is a vital mode of communication for people around the globe. Access to mobile phones is rapidly increasing, particularly in Asia [1]. Moreover, using cell phones has been demonstrated to increase service utilisation among young adults, who typically do not engage with healthcare services, by allowing them to access healthcare providers remotely for guidance. However, for older people, few of whom may be less capable or willing to use cell phones, the impact of enhanced service access may be limited [1]. Many geriatric individuals live with chronic conditions such as hypertension, asthma, diabetes, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). To manage these long-term illnesses effectively, individuals need to monitor their symptoms and adjust their lifestyles consistently. Text messaging, in comparison to other communication methods, offers the benefits of immediate delivery and low expense. The widespread availability, portability, instant access and personal nature of mobile phones make them an effective tool for transmitting health information [2]. |
