Abstract

Objective: To analyze scientific production on the use of geotechnologies applied in health services. Methods: This is an integrative literature review of the databases: LILACS, SciELO and MEDLINE, using the Excel® program, to create a spreadsheet with information from selected publications to compose the study. Results: It was identified 20 articles that met our objectives, of which only 30% were national and 70% international. The year of greatest publication was 2014 (30%) and nurses and doctors performed 70% of the studies. The review showed that 60% of publications were from international journals, with Brazil and the US (30%) individually responsible for 30% of publications. The most frequent methodology was exploratory research of the bibliographic research type (25%); All publications were published in different journals. Conclusion: Lack of scientific productions on the theme in the national territory in the health field. Such technologies are tools of excellence, highlighting their importance in promoting better conditions in the health field, such as: conscious use of resources, better user accessibility and cost reduction. Health professionals are expected to conduct further studies on the subject, as well as arouse interest for the construction of geotechnologies.
