Access and use of mobile health applications among Medicaid-insured pregnant and postpartum individuals
Mobile health applications can address health disparities in prenatal care due to adverse social determinants of health. We assessed the uptake and use of, preferences for, and barriers to mobile health applications among Medicaid-insured pregnant and postpartum individuals enrolled in prenatal care from March to May 2021. Medicaid-insured pregnant and postpartum individuals frequently used (56 %) and were potentially interested in using (90 %) mobile health applications for health-related tasks and had reliable internet access to do so (94 %). Over two fifths (44 %) reported barriers to using mobile health applications. Further research is needed to understand whether using mobile health applications to address social needs in the peripartum period can affect prenatal care utilization and decrease health disparities.
期刊介绍:
Health Policy and Technology (HPT), is the official journal of the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM), a cross-disciplinary journal, which focuses on past, present and future health policy and the role of technology in clinical and non-clinical national and international health environments.
HPT provides a further excellent way for the FPM to continue to make important national and international contributions to development of policy and practice within medicine and related disciplines. The aim of HPT is to publish relevant, timely and accessible articles and commentaries to support policy-makers, health professionals, health technology providers, patient groups and academia interested in health policy and technology.
Topics covered by HPT will include:
- Health technology, including drug discovery, diagnostics, medicines, devices, therapeutic delivery and eHealth systems
- Cross-national comparisons on health policy using evidence-based approaches
- National studies on health policy to determine the outcomes of technology-driven initiatives
- Cross-border eHealth including health tourism
- The digital divide in mobility, access and affordability of healthcare
- Health technology assessment (HTA) methods and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of clinical and non-clinical health technologies
- Health and eHealth indicators and benchmarks (measure/metrics) for understanding the adoption and diffusion of health technologies
- Health and eHealth models and frameworks to support policy-makers and other stakeholders in decision-making
- Stakeholder engagement with health technologies (clinical and patient/citizen buy-in)
- Regulation and health economics
