COVID-19已成为国际紧急情况。使用数字解决方案可以有效地管理、预防和克服传染病爆发的进一步蔓延。因此，使用移动保健技术有可能促进公共健康。本综述旨在研究移动医疗解决方案在COVID-19疫情管理中的应用。该搜索策略于2020年7月6日在Medline （PubMed）、Embase、IEEE和谷歌Scholar中使用移动医疗和COVID-19的相关关键词完成。其中包括使用移动医疗技术应对COVID-19疫情的英文论文。在确定的2046篇论文中，有16篇被纳入本研究。移动医疗已被用于各种目的，如早期发现、快速筛查、患者监测、信息共享、教育和治疗，以应对COVID-19的爆发。移动医疗解决方案被分为四类用例：预防、诊断、治疗和保护。在大流行期间，基于手机的应用程序和短信按摩是最常用的方式，其次是可穿戴设备、便携式筛查设备、移动远程医疗和连续遥测监测仪。看来移动医疗技术在COVID-19爆发期间发挥了积极作用。鉴于移动医疗解决方案的广泛能力，应考虑调查和利用移动医疗的所有潜在应用，以防治当前的流行病并减轻其负面影响。
COVID-19 has become an international emergency. The use of digital solutions can be effective in managing, preventing, and overcoming the further spread of infectious disease outbreaks. Accordingly, the use of mobile-health (m-health) technologies has the potential to promote public health. This review aimed to study the application of m-health solutions for the management of the COVID-19 outbreak. The search strategy was done in Medline (PubMed), Embase, IEEE, and Google Scholar by using related keywords to m-health and COVID-19 on July 6, 2020. English papers that used m-health technologies for the COVID-19 outbreak were included. Of the 2046 papers identified, 16 were included in this study. M-health had been used for various aims such as early detection, fast screening, patient monitoring, information sharing, education, and treatment in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. M-health solutions were classified into four use case categories: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and protection. The mobile phone-based app and short text massaging were the most frequently used modalities, followed by wearables, portable screening devices, mobile-telehealth, and continuous telemetry monitor during the pandemics. It appears that m-health technologies played a positive role during the COVID-19 outbreak. Given the extensive capabilities of m-health solutions, investigation and use of all potential applications of m-health should be considered for combating the current Epidemics and mitigating its negative impacts.
