Smartphone Apps for Surveillance of Gestational Diabetes: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Developments and evolutions in the information and communication technology sector have provided a solid foundation for the emergence of mobile health (mHealth) in recent years. The cornerstone to management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the self-management of glycemic indices, dietary intake, and lifestyle adaptations. Given this, it is readily adaptable to incorporation of remote monitoring strategies involving mHealth solutions.

Objective

We sought to examine and assess the available smartphone apps which enable self-monitoring and remote surveillance of GDM with a particular emphasis on the generation of individualized patient feedback.

Methods

Five databases were searched systematically for any studies evaluating mHealth-supported smartphon
