Conclusions The feasibility of the telehealth promotion system was demonstrated among people with SMI and may increase daily step counts. People with SMI may improve their physical activity levels with two-way messaging. Future research should address the small sample limitation and better investigate the efficacy of different characteristics of mobile text messaging.
