To identify scientific evidence on the use and results of information and communication technologies for the improvement of neonatal health in general or specific health problems or interventions, and to describe the type of intervention and its results.
A systematic review of the available evidence was performed. The search was carried out in peer-reviewed journals between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2018, in English and Spanish. The searched key terms were (health informatics OR telemedicine OR mHealth) AND (newborn OR newborn care OR neonatal care).
From a total of 305 articles initially identified, 10 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The main domains of eHealth identified as applied to neonatal health were telemedicine (3 studies), eLearning (1 study) and mHealth (7 studies). Target population were health care providers or parents. The studies aimed at diagnosis, provision of health care and training, promoting adherence to interventions in parents or improving quality of care.
The use of eHealth in general and specifically focused on neonatal health shows important possibilities for development and expansion, given the advances and present needs, and should be considered a key tool for the reduction of inequalities.
确定关于使用信息通信技术改善新生儿总体健康状况、特定健康问题或干预措施的科学证据,并描述干预类型及其结果。
对现有证据进行系统评价。检索了2008年1月1日至2018年4月30日期间的同行评审期刊,语种为英语和西班牙语。检索关键词为(健康信息学或远程医疗或移动医疗)以及(新生儿或新生儿护理或新生儿保健)。
在最初识别出的305篇文章中,有10篇符合纳入标准。确定适用于新生儿健康的电子健康主要领域为远程医疗(3项研究)、电子学习(1项研究)和移动医疗(7项研究)。目标人群为医疗保健提供者或父母。这些研究旨在进行诊断、提供医疗保健和培训、促进父母对干预措施的依从性或提高护理质量。
鉴于现有进展和当前需求,总体而言,尤其是专注于新生儿健康的电子健康应用显示出重要的发展和扩展可能性,应被视为减少不平等现象的关键工具。
