Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Digital Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Mobile health (mHealth) apps have been crucial in the COVID-19 response.
  • A comprehensive overview of mHealth apps developed for the pandemic is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of evidence on mobile applications developed in response to COVID-19.
  • To identify the types, sources, and features of COVID-19 mHealth apps.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search using PRISMA guidelines across Google Search, Google Scholar, and PubMed.
  • Keywords included COVID-19, nCOV19, contact tracing, symptom tracking, and mHealth, focusing on affected countries.

Main Results:

  • 29 mobile health apps from 19 countries were identified.
  • Primary functions included contact tracing (52%), quarantine support (24%), and symptom monitoring (24%).
  • Most apps originated from governmental sources (69%) and utilized Bluetooth or GPS for data collection.

Conclusions:

  • COVID-19 mHealth apps predominantly focus on contact tracing and symptom monitoring.
  • Widespread community uptake is essential for the success of these digital health tools.
  • Sharing best practices internationally can enhance governmental strategies for pandemic management.
