Abstract (773 Views)
Aims: Tracheostomy is a well-known method for securing the airway, performed by creating an opening in the anterior trachea. Mobile health pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with respiratory disorders play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for these patients. The present study aimed to identify and determine the core educational modules and key features of the tracheostomy mobile health application.
Information & Methods: This systematic review was conducted in 2025. First, modules and key features were identified through a literature review of studies from five databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase. Then, these requirements were evaluated by relevant experts via a questionnaire.
Findings: Out of 1,119 articles retrieved, only four studies were eligible after screening. Fifty educational modules and key features were identified and reviewed by 20 relevant experts, categorized into five sections, including user profile, health status, educational hub, lifestyle, and key features.
Conclusion: Using mHealth apps provides a unique opportunity for tracheostomized individuals to manage their health status more effectively.
