description The increase in smartphone ownership by underserved populations provides a unique opportunity to use technology to improve health. Health apps are often free and have programs to empower individuals to engage in health promotion and self-management of chronic illnesses. To promote the use of health apps in an underserved community, investigators provided brief educational sessions to teach individuals to how access and use health apps. Educational sessions increased health app knowledge, comfort in using health apps, and likelihood of using health apps. •Smartphone ownership is increasing in underserved populations.•Underserved populations are interested in using health apps.•Brief educational sessions can encourage health app use by reducing barriers.
