Gaps and Future Challenges of Italian Apps for Pregnancy and Postnatal Care: Systematic Search on App Stores

Laura Brunelli et al.

Summary: Despite the availability of thousands of health apps worldwide, many pregnancy and postnatal care apps lack consideration for the continuity between prenatal and postnatal stages, and their impact on maternal and child health. The quality of app information was generally rated more negatively than functionality and esthetic features, with lacking aspects including family planning methods, birth spacing, and immunization information. Identifying and addressing these gaps could lead to the development of higher-quality and more effective apps for pregnancy and postnatal health care.
