Resumo

Objective: To explore, in different databases, the tools and methodologies used to validate applications implemented in health services. Methods: This is an integrative literature review aimed to identify articles that reveal different methods to validate digital technologies in healthcare. Results: Eight articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two authors chose to validate the software through a previously validated scale; others used qualitative and quantitative methodologies, with validated scale and individualized interviews; three chose qualitative methodology, from individual interviews to focus group evaluations and, finally, the last article used positive results obtained during the evaluation of the application after launch in health services to validate the software. Some authors have developed quality tools using scales, but the absence of features required by International Standardization Organization (ISO) standards limit the results. Final Considerations: We suggest the creation of a user-friendly and widely available scale or questionnaire based on ISO standards to validate software in health care, facilitating comparison of applications for use in health services.
