The main objective of this paper is to review and analysis of the state of the art regarding triage applications (apps) for health emergencies. This research is based on a systematic review of the literature in scientific databases from 2010 to early 2021, following a prism methodology. In addition, a Google Play Store search of the triage apps found in the literature was performed for further evaluation. A total of 26 relevant papers were obtained for this study, of which 13 apps were identified. After searching for each of these apps in the Google Play Store platform, only 2 of them were obtained, and these were subsequently evaluated together with another app obtained from the link provided in the corresponding paper. In the analysis carried out, it was detected that from 2019 onwards there has been an increase in research interest in this area, since the papers obtained from this year onwards represent 38.5% of the relevant papers. This increase may be caused by the need for early selection of the most serious patients in such difficult times for the health service. According to the review carried out, an increase in mobile app research focused on Emergency Triage and a decrease in app studies for triage catastrophe have been identified. In this study it was also observed that despite the existence of many researches in this sense, only 3 apps contained in them are accessible. "TRIAGIST" does not allow the entry of an unidentified user, "Major Trauma Triage Tool" presents negative comments from users who have used it and "ESITriage" lacks updates to improve its performance.
本文的主要目的是回顾和分析有关健康紧急情况分诊应用程序(app)的最新技术。这项研究基于对 2010 年至 2021 年初科学数据库文献的系统回顾，采用棱镜方法。此外，还对文献中发现的分诊应用程序在 Google Play 商店进行了搜索，以进行进一步评估。本研究共获得了 26 篇相关论文，其中确定了 13 个应用程序。在 Google Play 商店平台上搜索了这些应用程序中的每一个后，仅获得了其中的 2 个，随后与从相应论文中提供的链接获得的另一个应用程序一起进行了评估。在进行的分析中，发现自 2019 年以来，人们对该领域的研究兴趣有所增加，因为当年及以后获得的论文占相关论文的 38.5%。这种增加可能是由于在卫生服务如此困难的时期，需要尽早选择最严重的患者。根据进行的审查，发现专注于紧急分诊的移动应用程序研究有所增加，而用于分诊灾难的应用程序研究有所减少。在这项研究中还观察到，尽管在这方面进行了许多研究，但只有其中的 3 个应用程序可以访问。“TRIAGIST”不允许未识别的用户进入，“重大创伤分诊工具”收到了使用过它的用户的负面评价，而“ESITriage”缺乏更新以提高其性能。
