随着智能手机的普及，越来越多的父母通过博客、网络论坛或移动应用等互联网资源寻求育儿建议。然而，确定高质量的应用程序（响应家庭不同经验的应用程序）来指导儿童发展可能具有挑战性。这篇关于移动健康应用程序的综述旨在记录美国父母在促进孩子发育健康时可用的应用程序的景观、设计和内容。为了了解儿童早期健康促进应用的可用性和质量，我们对两大应用商店（b谷歌Play和Apple app store）的应用进行了内容分析。我们发现，大多数应用程序并没有为父母提供量身定制的体验，包括文化方面的考虑，而是推广在某些情况下可能对父母有用的通用指导。我们讨论了需要一个评估框架来评估旨在支持父母的儿童发展主题的应用程序。未来的工作需要关于如何在这一领域支持设计师，特别是避免给用户带来潜在负担，并提供文化信息和公平驱动的体验。
Following increases in smartphone access, more parents seek parenting advice through internet sources, including blogs, web-based forums, or mobile apps. However, identifying quality apps (ones that respond to the diverse experiences of families) for guidance on child development can be challenging. This review of mobile health apps aimed to document the landscape, design, and content of apps in the United States available to parents as they promote their child’s developmental health. To understand the availability and quality of apps for early childhood health promotion, we completed a content analysis of apps in 2 major app stores (Google Play and Apple App stores). We found that most apps do not provide tailored experiences to parents, including cultural considerations, and instead promote generic guidance that may be useful to parents in some contexts. We discuss the need for an evaluative framework to assess apps aimed to support parents on child development topics. Future work is needed on how to support designers in this area, specifically related to avoiding potential burdens on users and providing culturally informed and equity-driven experiences.
