Mobile health applications for prenatal assessment and monitoring.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the potential advantages of these devices, some caution must be heeded when implementing this technology into routine daily practice. To date, the majority of published research on mobile health in the prenatal setting consists of observational studies and there is a need for high-quality randomized controlled trials to confirm the reported clinical and economic benefits as well as the safety of this technology. There is also a need for guidance and governance on the development and validation of new apps and devices and for the implementation of mobile health technology into healthcare systems in both high and low-income settings. Finally, digital communication technologies offer perspectives towards exploration and development of the very new domain of tele-pharmacology. PMID: 30894100 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
