Mobile health is an emerging technology around the world that can be effective in cancer screening. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mobile health applications on cancer screening.
We conducted a systematic literature review of studies related to the use of mobile health applications in cancer screening. We also conducted a comprehensive search of articles on cancer screening related to the use of mobile health applications in journals published between January 1, 2008, and January 31, 2019, using 5 databases: IEEE, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct and PubMed.
A total of 23 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the present review. All studies have identified positive effects of applications on cancer screening and clinical health outcomes. Furthermore, more than half of mobile applications had multiple functions such as providing information, planning and education. Moreover, most of the studies, which examined the satisfaction of patients and quality improvement, showed healthcare application users have significantly higher satisfaction of living and it leads to improving quality.
This study found that the use of mobile health applications has a positive impact on health-related behaviours and outcomes. Application users were more satisfied with applying mobile health applications to manage their health condition in comparison with users who received conventional care.
移动健康是一项在全球范围内兴起的技术，在癌症筛查中可能有效。本研究旨在探讨移动健康应用程序在癌症筛查方面的有效性。
我们对与移动健康应用程序在癌症筛查中的使用相关的研究进行了系统的文献综述。我们还使用IEEE、Scopus、科学网、Science Direct和PubMed这5个数据库，对2008年1月1日至2019年1月31日期间发表的期刊上与移动健康应用程序在癌症筛查中的使用相关的文章进行了全面检索。
共有23篇文章符合纳入标准并被纳入本综述。所有研究均确定了这些应用程序对癌症筛查和临床健康结果的积极影响。此外，超过一半的移动应用程序具有多种功能，如提供信息、规划和教育。此外，大多数研究患者满意度和质量改进的研究表明，医疗保健应用程序用户的生活满意度显著更高，这有助于提高生活质量。
本研究发现，移动健康应用程序的使用对与健康相关的行为和结果有积极影响。与接受传统护理的用户相比，应用程序用户对使用移动健康应用程序管理其健康状况更满意。
