We evaluated the effects of digital health technologies (DHTs) on women's health, empowerment, and gender equality, using the scoping review method. Following a search across five databases and grey literature, we analysed 80 studies published up to Aug 18, 2023. The thematic appraisal and quantitative analysis found that DHTs positively affect women's access to health-care services, self-care, and tailored self-monitoring enabling the acquisition of health-related interventions. Use of these technologies is beneficial across various medical fields, including gynaecology, endocrinology, and psychiatry. DHTs also improve women's empowerment and gender equality by facilitating skills acquisition, health education, and social interaction, while allowing cost-effective health services. Overall, DHTs contribute to better health outcomes for women and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals by improving access to health care and financial literacy.
我们采用范围综述方法评估了数字健康技术（DHTs）对女性健康、赋权及性别平等的影响。在对五个数据库和灰色文献进行检索之后，我们分析了截至2023年8月18日发表的80项研究。主题评估和定量分析发现，数字健康技术对女性获得医疗保健服务、自我保健以及进行有针对性的自我监测产生了积极影响，从而能够获得与健康相关的干预措施。这些技术的应用在包括妇科、内分泌学和精神病学在内的各个医学领域都有益处。数字健康技术还通过促进技能获取、健康教育和社会互动，同时提供具有成本效益的健康服务，来提高女性的赋权程度和促进性别平等。总体而言，数字健康技术有助于改善女性的健康结果，并通过改善医疗保健服务的可及性和金融知识普及来支持联合国可持续发展目标。
