Abstract
Use of devices like smartphones, iPads and computers, which enable children to utilize mobile technologies, increases day by day. This study has been conducted to compile original articles evaluating the smartphone applications built for paediatrics. During the study, PubMed database was searched. Within the scope of the literature survey, ten articles published with the aim of maintaining and promoting childrens’ health with mobile applications were reviewed. It is safe to state that the use of mobile health applications on children is a new and limited concept. Although applications and research are limited, the common result of these shows that the use of mobile health applications by professionals, children and nurses has a promising and contributing potential for child health.
