Instrumentos de Vigilância e Rastreio do Desenvolvimento Infantil e Tecnologia Móvel: Revisão

Abstract

This study is a literature review designed to investigate the use of monitoring and screening instruments for child developmental delay using mobile technology. In addition, the aim was to characterize the methodologies used, samples of participants, whether clinical or not, the research context and the purpose of the instrument use. Articles were searched by three judges in the databases indexed in the BVS, PUBMED/MEDLINE and APA PsyNET. The PRISMA recommendations were used for this review. After applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, five articles were retrieved and analyzed. The two types of instruments: monitoring and screening, were presented in three study categories: 1. descriptive; 2. viability/usability and 3. validity. Further studies are needed to assess the impact and effectiveness of the use of mobile format instruments for the monitoring and screening for childhood developmental delays.
