Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in improving maternal health outcomes in low-income countries.
Conducted a systematic review of studies on mHealth interventions for maternal health.
Focused on studies from low-income countries, assessing their quality and outcomes.
Identified gaps in pilot programs requiring rigorous testing.
Many studies show potential for mHealth to improve maternal health outcomes.
Quality of evidence is predominantly low to moderate, indicating the need for more robust trials.
Pilot programs demonstrate promise but need further validation before broader implementation.

Implication

Systematic review shows promise for mHealth interventions in maternal health, suggesting need for further testing.

Abstract

Studies demonstrated promise for the use of mHealth in maternal health; however, much of the evidence came from low- and moderate-quality studies. Pilot and small programs require more rigorous testing before allocating resources to scaling up this technology.
