When today's mobile healthcare market is examined, applications developed for every age and need can be found. Within the scope of the study, it is aimed to evaluate the awareness, purpose and frequency of m-Health applications developed by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, which keeps up with change and development. Among people who use mobile devices and reside in Turkey, 1,078 participants are reached with easy sampling method. The questionnaires used as data collection tools are carried out online on 18-31 January 2021 and only those that can be used are included in the study and analyzed with the SPSS Program. The Cronbach's Alpha Value of the study is determined as 0.757. It is observed that 28.8% of the participants use the applications at least once a month, 60.8% of them are aware of their use via the internet, 93% use them via mobile phones, and 97.6% recommend them to their acquaintances. Considering the awareness and use of the applications, it is found that the rates of applications other than e-Nabız, MHRS, Hayat Eve Sığar and City Hospitals mobile applications are lower. Considering the popularity and usage rates of m-health tools, it is recommended to conduct new researches on health literacy in order to determine the needs, development and promotion activities of these tools, to identify usage problems and to use them effectively. Considering the results of the study, it is thought that it will make significant contributions to the literature in terms of theoretical, practical and administrative development of the applications as the first comprehensive study conducted for m-Health tools.
