Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas sobre o impacto das tecnologias de m-Health na identificação de riscos clínicos e na redução da mortalidade materna. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada na base de dados PubMed, SCIELO e Acervo Mais. A busca utilizou descritores controlados (DeCS/MeSH) e operadores booleanos, delimitando-se a artigos originais publicados nos últimos cinco anos, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Após a triagem de 164 registros e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, a amostra final foi composta por 13 artigos. Resultados: Os achados demonstram que o uso de aplicativos e telemonitoramento otimiza a identificação precoce de síndromes hipertensivas e diabetes gestacional. As intervenções de m-Health reduzem as três demoras assistenciais, melhorando a adesão ao pré-natal e a vigilância no puerpério, especialmente em regiões de difícil acesso geográfico. Considerações finais: O m-Health é uma estratégia robusta para a segurança obstétrica, embora sua implementação enfrente limitações relacionadas ao letramento digital e à conectividade. O estudo reforça a necessidade de tecnologias adaptadas a cenários de vulnerabilidade.
