Recently, there has been a steady increase in mobile health (mHealth) interventions aimed at improving maternal health of women in low-income and middle-income countries. While there is evidence indicating that these interventions contribute to improvements in maternal health outcomes, other studies indicate inconclusive results. This uncertainty has raised additional questions, one of which pertains to the role of targeting strategies in implementing mHealth interventions and the focus on pregnant women and health workers as target groups. This review aims to assess who is targeted in different mHealth interventions and the importance of targeting strategies in maternal mHealth interventions.
We will search for peer-reviewed, English-language literature published between 1999 and July 2017 in PubMed, Web of Knowledge (Science Direct, EMBASE) and Cochrane Central Registers of Controlled Trials. The study scope is defined by the Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes framework: P, community members with maternal or reproductive needs; I, electronic health or mHealth programmes geared at improving maternal or reproductive health; C, other non-electronic health or mHealth-based interventions; O, maternal health measures including family planning, antenatal care attendance, health facility delivery and postnatal care attendance.
This study is a review of already published or publicly available data and needs no ethical approval. Review results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at international conferences.

最近，旨在改善低收入和中等收入国家妇女孕产妇健康的移动健康（mHealth）干预措施稳步增加。虽然有证据表明这些干预措施有助于改善孕产妇健康结果，但其他研究结果却尚无定论。这种不确定性引发了更多问题，其中之一涉及目标策略在实施移动健康干预措施中的作用，以及将孕妇和卫生工作者作为目标群体的关注重点。本综述旨在评估不同移动健康干预措施的目标人群，以及目标策略在孕产妇移动健康干预措施中的重要性。
我们将在PubMed、知识网络（科学Direct、EMBASE）和Cochrane对照试验中央注册库中检索1999年至2017年7月发表的同行评审英文文献。研究范围由人群、干预措施、对照和结果框架定义：P，有孕产妇或生殖需求的社区成员；I，旨在改善孕产妇或生殖健康的电子健康或移动健康项目；C，其他非电子健康或基于移动健康的干预措施；O，孕产妇健康措施，包括计划生育、产前检查、医疗机构分娩和产后检查。
本研究是对已发表或公开可用数据的综述，无需伦理批准。综述结果将发表在同行评审期刊上，并在国际会议上展示。
