“…Mobile technology enables asynchronous learning—a time and location-independent learning model—with greater access to online modules, podcasts, and videos. For example, smartphone apps have now been developed for point-of-care learning of regional anesthetic procedures such as the Bier Block [ 30 ]. These apps may provide an all-in-one learning center with videos, cognitive aids, dose calculators, self-timers, and evidence-based references readily available at the learner's convenience [ 30 ].…”

Background The increasing use of smartphones by providers and patients alike demonstrates that digital health utilizing mobile applications has the potential to transform perioperative care and education in anesthesia. Objective This literature review describes the current scope of the use of mobile applications in anesthesiology. Methods Literature was searched using PubMed, Scopus, and clinicaltrials.gov for articles published from January 1, 2010, through April 1, 2020. Only English language studies were included. Articles were included if they examined the use of a mobile health application in the setting of anesthesia or the perioperative (immediate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) period. Studies were excluded if they explored video interventions or did not examine the feasibility or efficacy of the mobile app. Results We included 29 articles, and three areas of clinical functionality were identified: patient-centered care (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative), systems-based improvement, and medical education. Several studies demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of mobile apps in these areas, but many are only tested for efficacy in simulated environments or with small patient samples Conclusions Mobile health applications show promise in improving communication between anesthesiologists, improving workflow efficiency, enhancing medical education, and reducing hospital costs. However, there is a need for validation and improvement before full implementation by the provider, patients, and hospital systems. Future studies are needed to demonstrate meaningful health outcomes to create guidelines and recommendations specific to the application of mobile technology to health care.

BACKGROUND With increasing use of smartphones by providers and patients alike, digital health specifically with the use of mobile applications, has the potential to transform perioperative care and education in anesthesia. OBJECTIVE This review describes the current scope of use of mobile applications in anesthesiology, their feasibility, as well as limitations. METHODS Literature was searched using PubMed, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov for articles published from January 1, 2010 through April 1, 2020. Only English language studies were included. Articles were included if they examined the use of a mobile health application in the setting of anesthesia or in perioperative (immediate pre-, intra-, and post-operative) period. Studies were excluded if they explored video interventions or did not specifically examine the feasibility or efficacy of the mobile app. RESULTS Twenty-nine articles were included and identified three areas of clinical functionality: patient-centered care (pre-operative, intra-operative, post-operative), systems-based improvement, and medical education. Studies demonstrate feasibility and reliability of mobile apps for these functions, but many are only tested for efficacy in simulated environments or with small samples. CONCLUSIONS Smartphone apps show promising evidence to improve communication between anesthesiologists, improve workflow efficiency, enhance medical education, and reduce hospital costs. However, there is need for validation and improvement before full implementation for the provider, patient and hospital systems. Future studies are needed to demonstrate meaningful clinical outcomes using high quality research guidelines specific to mobile technology.
