Mobile health applications for Postnatal Care
Ali Idri
Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco
P roviding a continuum of care from antenatal, childbirth
and postnatal period results in reduced maternal and
neonatal morbidity and mortality. Timely, high quality
postnatal care is crucial for maximizing maternal and
newborn health. In this vein, the use of postnatal care
mobile applications (apps) constitutes a promising strategy.
The objective of the present study is to scrutinize the
functionalities and features included in postnatal care apps
available in Android and iOS app repositories. A Systematic
Literature Review (SLR) protocol was adopted to perform
the selection, data extraction and functional evaluation of
the available postnatal apps on iOS and Android platforms.
The analysis of the functionalities and technical features of
the apps selected was performed according to a 37-item
assessment questionnaire developed on the basis of the
scientific literature of postnatal care and a preliminary analysis
of available postnatal apps. Forty-eight postnatal apps were
retrieved from app repositories of the iOS and Android
platforms. Results of the functional content analysis showthat
postnatal apps achieved low scores owing to the complexity
and ramification of postnatal care. Conclusion. The present
study helps in identifying areas related to the postnatal care
that require further endeavors to be properly addressed.
It also provides directions for developers to leverage the
advancement and innovation on mobile technology to build
complete apps with increased specificity for postnatal care.
