This report presents a systematic literature review focused on mHealth applications within the context of integrated surgical care. The review synthesizes findings from various secondary data sources, including academic databases such as NCBI, Google Scholar, and Biomedcentral, using keywords like 'biomedical mobile application' and 'surgery applications for mobile devices.' The methodology involved an initial search, followed by a rigorous screening process to ensure the inclusion of relevant and reliable studies. The review examines several key research papers, highlighting the impact of mHealth on patient usability, post-operative care, and overall health outcomes. The analysis covers different aspects of mHealth, including the use of image-based platforms for wound monitoring, mobile apps for home monitoring after ambulatory surgery, and applications for tracking patients after gastrointestinal surgery. The report also explores the primary requirements for developing a mobile application for integrated surgical care, including the need to understand surgical procedures, communication needs, and the application's conceptual operation. The design science development method is proposed for the mHealth application, outlining phases such as problem identification, objective definition, design, development, evaluation, and communication. The report concludes with a discussion of the coding framework, testing phases, and the iterative nature of the design process to ensure the creation of an effective mHealth solution for improving surgical outcomes.
