Objetivo: Describir la evidencia científica sobre las aplicaciones móviles en salud en América Latina.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio bibliométrico que incluyó artículos científicos sobre las aplicaciones móviles para actividades en salud publicados en revistas científicas indexadas en Scopus y LILACS hasta diciembre de 2019. Todos los artículos incluidos tenían como mínimo un autor con filiación institucional de un país de América Latina. Se analizaron los datos con Stata y VOSviewer.Resultados: Se incluyeron 271 artículos en el análisis. La producción científica por año aumentó de un artículo, en 2012, a 18 artículos en 2019. La mayoría de las aplicaciones móviles en salud fueron diseñadas para la población general o para el uso de los pacientes. Casi la mitad de los estudios explicaron el proceso de diseño de aplicaciones móviles en salud; el 19,6 % fueron estudios cuasiexperimentales y el 4,4 % fueron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. La atención primaria y la salud pública fueron la especialidad médica más común entre las aplicaciones móviles en salud (n = 42; 15,5 %); mientras que la atención a las personas mayores fue el problema de salud más frecuente abordado por las aplicaciones móviles evaluadas (n = 13; 4,8 %).Conclusión: Ha habido un aumento progresivo de las publicaciones científicas sobre aplicaciones móviles en salud en América Latina desde 2012. Sin embargo, solo unas pocas de estas aplicaciones móviles en salud han sido probadas como una intervención en ensayos clínicos aleatorios y cubren las cargas de salud de la región.@en

Objective: To describe the existing scientific evidence on mobile health applications in Latin America.Methods: Bibliometric study which analyzed scientific articles about mobile applications for health outcomes, published in peer-reviewed journals which were indexed in Scopus and LILACS until December 2019. All articles included had a minimum of one author with a Latin American affiliation. We analyzed the data with Stata and VOSviewer.Results: There were 271 articles in this analysis. The scientific production per year increased from 1 article in 2012 to 18 articles in 2019. Most mobile health applications were designed for the general population or for patient use. Almost half of the studies explained the design process of mobile health applications, 19.6 % were quasi-experimental studies, and 4.4% were randomized clinical trials. Primary care and public health were the most common medical specialty among mobile health applications (n = 42; 15.5%), while elderly care was the most frequent health issue (n = 13; 4.8%).Conclusion: There has been a progressive increase in scientific publications on mobile health applications in Latin America since 2012. However, only a few of these mobile health applications have been tested as an intervention in clinical randomized trials and covers the health burdens of the region.@es

La mayoría de las aplicaciones móviles en salud fueron diseñadas para la población general o para el uso de los pacientes. Casi la mitad de los estudios explicaron el proceso de diseño de aplicaciones móviles en salud; el 19,6 % fueron estudios cuasiexperimentales y el 4,4 % fueron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. La atención primaria y la salud pública fueron la especialidad médica más común entre las aplicaciones móviles en salud (n = 42; 15,5 %); mientras que la atención a las personas mayores fue el problema de salud más frecuente abordado por las aplicaciones móviles evaluadas (n = 13; 4,8 %).Conclusión: Ha habido un aumento progresivo de las publicaciones científicas sobre aplicaciones móviles en salud en América Latina desde 2012. Sin embargo, solo unas pocas de estas aplicaciones móviles en salud han sido probadas como una intervención en ensayos clínicos aleatorios y cubren las cargas de salud de la región.] => 0

                            [Objective: To describe the existing scientific evidence on mobile health applications in Latin America.Methods: Bibliometric study which analyzed scientific articles about mobile applications for health outcomes, published in peer-reviewed journals which were indexed in Scopus and LILACS until December 2019. All articles included had a minimum of one author with a Latin American affiliation. We analyzed the data with Stata and VOSviewer.Results: There were 271 articles in this analysis. The scientific production per year increased from 1 article in 2012 to 18 articles in 2019. Most mobile health applications were designed for the general population or for patient use. Almost half of the studies explained the design process of mobile health applications, 19.6 % were quasi-experimental studies, and 4.4% were randomized clinical trials. Primary care and public health were the most common medical specialty among mobile health applications (n = 42; 15.5%), while elderly care was the most frequent health issue (n = 13; 4.8%).Conclusion: There has been a progressive increase in scientific publications on mobile health applications in Latin America since 2012. However, only a few of these mobile health applications have been tested as an intervention in clinical randomized trials and covers the health burdens of the region.] => 0
