Assessing the Landscape of Telehealth Interventions for Women's Health: An Umbrella Review of Recent Advances Post-Pandemic.

Abstract

This umbrella review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of telehealth services for women after the COVID-19 pandemic. The review synthesizes findings from 21 reviews, covering diverse topics such as cancer care, pregnancy and postpartum care, general health, and specific populations. While some areas have shown promising results, others require further research to better understand the potential of digital health interventions. The review identifies gaps in knowledge and highlights the need for more rigorous and comprehensive research to address the limitations and gaps identified in the current evidence base. This includes prioritizing the use of standardized guidelines, quality assessment tools, and meta-analyses, as well as exploring the comparative effectiveness of different digital health interventions, the experiences of specific populations, and the cost-effectiveness of these technologies. By addressing these gaps, this umbrella review can inform future research and policy decisions, ultimately improving women's health outcomes in the post-pandemic era.
