Abstract: The escalating prevalence of metabolic dysfunction - associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) underscores an urgent need for innovative healthcare solutions, particularly in regions like India where obesity and diabetes fuel its rise. This narrative review thoughtfully examines the role of nurse - led mobile health (mHealth) interventions in addressing MASLD, a condition increasingly linked to cardiovascular risks and chronic liver complications. It is evident that mobile apps, by offering real - time monitoring, personalized lifestyle guidance, and nurse - driven support, empower patients to sustain critical behavioral changes, such as weight loss and improved dietary habits. These interventions not only enhance patient engagement but also bridge gaps in care, especially in underserved areas, fostering trust and continuity in healthcare delivery. This suggests that integrating nurse - led mHealth into routine practice could transform MASLD management, though challenges like digital access and long - term efficacy warrant further exploration. By weaving technology with human - centered care, this approach holds promise for scalable, equitable solutions to a growing public health crisis.
