Research often presents patient needs from perceptions of healthcare professionals and researchers. Today, patients can formulate tailored questions and seek solutions for what they need to self-manage in many ways. We aimed to compare reported outcomes of mHealth and online intervention studies for diabetes self-management to patient-reported needs, from a systematic review and a literature review respectively. Although we found similarities between the reported outcomes and the patient-reported needs, research has yet to meet all patient needs. Comprehensive methods for development and testing of interventions should be explored to meet the specific needs of patients.
