Article Description

Introduction Assisting in the growth and development of children can have an impact on the long-term sustainable progress of society. The integration of mobile health technology (m-health), which is a widely available and easily accessible approach, can be advantageous in achieving this goal. This protocol outlines a systematic review strategy for identifying articles that promote children's development through the use of m-health. Methods We developed this review protocol using the Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) checklist. To conduct this systematic review, we will perform searches in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Our search strategy includes English articles published between 2000 and 2022, using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and related keywords. We will use the participants, interventions, comparators, and outcomes (PICO) framework to determine article inclusion criteria. At least two independent reviewers will assess the articles, and the findings will be reported in the published article. Discussion We expect that the results of this systematic review will clarify the effects of health on different aspects of child development and assist health policymakers in selecting cost-effective and optimal solutions to improve children's development across various domains. Additionally, it has the potential to identify gaps and provide directions for future research in this field.
