Abstract: Overweight and obesity are problems of wide public concern due to the chronic diseases they might generate. mHealth ("mobile health") is a promising way to perform weight loss interventions. This paper aims to design a mobile application for weight control based on the identification of the most effective components of these tools. A bibliographical research that allows a greater understanding of the components and reasons for the use of this type of applications has been accomplished. A survey to 141 adult people residents of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and the Valencian Country has been performed to learn about which characteristics and components in an app for weight control are most valued.
