This study developed an mHealth Design Framework for older adults by identifying design guidelines that address age-related cognitive, physical, and motivational barriers. A scoping review following Arksey and O'Malley's framework was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE®, IEEE Xplore®, and Web of Science®, covering studies from 2010 to 2025. Within 161 records screened, 23 met inclusion criteria. The framework contains considerations under three categories for designing age-friendly mHealth applications, including design approaches, age-related barriers, and a design checklist. These findings serve as a foundation for enhancing engagement and usability of mobile applications for aging populations.
