“…Similar studies conducted in Latin America and India indicated that mHealth applications were deployed to help diagnose cardiometabolic conditions and non-communicable diseases [ 57 , 58 ]. In Brazil, mHealth applications have been used for supporting the diagnosis of chest pain among patients [ 59 ]. Moreover, a survey in Nigeria found that frontline health workers used mHealth applications for diagnosing diseases as well as making differential diagnoses of diseases on patients' conditions [ 44 ].…”

The advances in mobile technologies and applications are driving the transformation in health services delivery globally. Mobile phone penetration is increasing exponentially in low-and middle-income countries, hence using mobile phones for healthcare services could reach more people in resource-limited settings than the traditional forms of healthcare provision. The review presents recent literature on facilitators and barriers of implementing mHealth for disease screening and treatment support in low-and middle-income countries. We searched for relevant literature from the following electronic databases: MEDLINE; CINAHL with full text via EBSCOhost; Science Direct; PubMed; Google Scholar and Web of Science using the keywords for relevant studies. We searched for published studies from 2015 to August 2020 with no language limitations. A total of 721 articles identified, 125 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The review demonstrates relevant facilitators for the implementation of mHealth, which includes knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of stakeholders on the use of mHealth and the performance of mHealth for disease diagnosis in low and-middle-income countries. Barriers and challenges hindering the implementation of mHealth applications were also identified. We proposed a framework for improving the implementation of mHealth for disease screening and treatment support in low-and middle-income countries.

“…138 In Brazil, Belo Horizonte, Campinas, Salvador, São Paulo, and the Northern Region of Minas Gerais (encompassing 89 municipalities) have published initiatives in this area. 137,[139][140][141][142][143] Decreased system delays and increased reperfusion rates have been observed in cases of ST-segment elevation AMI, with evidence of reduced hospital mortality. 139,143,144 A typical telemedicine system comprises a specialized center (hub) and multiple remote care units distributed within a geographic region (spoke centers) connected bidirectionally by a communication channel.…”

The specialized center may be a referral hospital in cardiology, the operation center of an Emergency Mobile Care Service (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência, SAMU), or a telemedicine center.…”

“…16 Using an efficiency indicator, studies report that for every 100 telehealth activities taken by this teleassistance service, 80 unnecessary referrals were avoided and savings of R$4.27 were obtained for each R$1.00 invested. 16,21 Analyzing the results found in this study, we realize the importance of implementing telecardiology in primary health care centers, which usually face difficulties in providing fast, qualified care and appropriate handling of patients with indication for ECG, 7,14 as shown in Table 2.…”

“…1,3,4 In this sense, telecardiology emerges as an opportunity to improve local economic, reduce the distance between the patient and specialized health services, avoiding unnecessary referrals, 5,6 and improving the quality of care. 7,8 Based on these observations, this study aimed at evaluating the implementation of a Telecardiology Network that includes electrocardiogram (ECG) tests in a primary care center in the city of Porto Alegre. Also, we evaluated the level of user satisfaction using the CARDIOSATIS Scale.…”

In Western European countries and the United States, morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease (CAD) is about three times higher than cerebrovascular disease. In Brazil, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are responsible for about one third of deaths according to DATASUS. 1,2 This is particularly important considering that as longevity of populations increases, chronic diseases including CVDs become more frequent.Porto Alegre, located in the south of Brazil, is the tenth most populous capital in the country, with an estimated 1,484,941 inhabitants. The primary care system in the city covers areas of high social vulnerability and difficult access to specialized services. In this context, reducing geographic barriers and optimizing referrals to secondary and tertiary care would improve the provision of care and favor the local economy.Telehealth appears as an opportunity to respond to this need using communication with information technology Int J Cardiovasc Sci. 2021; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0
