Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia científica sobre el impacto de las tecnologías de m-Salud en la identificación de riesgos clínicos y la reducción de la mortalidad materna. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica integradora en la base de datos PubMed, SCIELO y Colección Media. La búsqueda utilizó descriptores controlados (DeCS/MeSH) y operadores booleanos, limitándose a artículos originales publicados en los últimos cinco años, en portugués, inglés y español. Tras la revisión de 164 registros y la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión, la muestra final quedó compuesta por 13 artículos. Resultados: Los hallazgos demuestran que el uso de aplicaciones y la telemonitorización optimiza la identificación temprana de síndromes hipertensivos y diabetes gestacional. Las intervenciones de m-Salud reducen los tres retrasos en la atención, mejorando la adherencia a la atención prenatal y la vigilancia posparto, especialmente en regiones de difícil acceso geográfico. Consideraciones finales: La m-Salud es una estrategia sólida para la seguridad obstétrica, aunque su implementación presenta limitaciones relacionadas con la alfabetización digital y la conectividad. El estudio refuerza la necesidad de tecnologías adaptadas a escenarios vulnerables.
