Digital Health Interventions in Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care Services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The majority of global maternal and newborn deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), often due to a lack of resources, inadequate training of health care providers, and delayed or untimely care. Low-cost digital health interventions (DHIs) may help improve emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) services in resource-limited settings by incorporating innovative approaches to enhance traditional models of care.

Objective

This study aimed to systematically explore the key characteristics and usefulness of DHIs implemented for improving EmONC services in low-resource settings, as well as to identify barriers to implementation, given the importance of developing, implementing, and evaluating context-specific digital interventions for such settings
