The Impact of Digital Health Interventions on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes in High-Risk Pregnancies: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract: There is a high maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality related to high-risk pregnancies, which is particularly apparent in low- and middle-income nations, and this necessitates novel healthcare approaches. Digital health (such as mobile health (mHealth), telemedicine, wearable devices, and artificial intelligence-powered monitoring systems) has a great potential to enhance healthcare delivery and outcomes in this population. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to conduct an assessment of how digital health interventions can affect maternal and neonatal outcomes during high-risk pregnancy and determine the gaps in research. It was performed in accordance with PRISMA and the relevant studies were retrieved in the electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The strategy of search on the keywords such as digital health, mHealth, telemedicine, high-risk pregnancy, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes was utilized. The literature that was published in English at the period of 2015-2025 was searched as the studies were required to concentrate on the concept of digital interventions in high-risk pregnancies, excluding non- peer-reviewed and irrelevant studies. Standardized tools were used to extract data and assess the quality of it. The results indicate that digital health interventions can have a considerable positive effect on maternal outcomes in terms of improving remote monitoring, improving treatment adherence, and reducing complications. Moreover, there were improvements in neonatal outcomes in terms of better birth weight, fewer preterm births, and fewer neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. Nonetheless, the differences in the study designs, types of interventions and geographical location were observed. Altogether, there is a high potential of digital health interventions in the improvement of maternal and neonatal outcomes, even though additional large-scale and standardized studies are needed to make them applicable to a broader population.
