PHR users are able to manage their own health data and communicate with doctors in order to improve healthcare quality and efficiency. Mobile PHR (mPHR) applications for mobile devices have obtained an interesting market quota since the appearance of more powerful mobile devices. These devices allow users to gain access to applications that used to be available only for personal computers. This paper analyzes the functionalities of mobile PHRs that are specific to pregnancy monitoring. Methods A well-known Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol was used in the analysis process. A questionnaire was developed for this task, based on the rigorous study of scientific literature concerning pregnancy and applications available on the market, with 9 data items and 35 quality assessments. The data items contain calendars, pregnancy information, health habits, counters, diaries, mobile features, security, backup, configuration and architectural design. Results A total of 33 mPHRs for pregnancy monitoring, available for iOS and Android, were selected from Apple App store and Google Play store, respectively. The results show that none of the mPHRs selected met 100\% of the functionalities analyzed in this paper. The highest score achieved was 77\%, while the lowest was 17\%. Conclusions In this paper, these features are discussed and possible paths for future development of similar applications are proposed, which may lead to a more efficient use of smartphone capabilities. {\textcopyright} 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd}, doi = {10.1016/j.cmpb.2016.06.008}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84978646111\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.cmpb.2016.06.008\&partnerID=40\&md5=5810b4e9f9f1e14a4a7c0721b3d022c8}, author = {Bachiri, M.a and Idri, A.a and Fern{\'a}ndez-Alem{\'a}n, J.L.b and Toval, A.b} } @conference {Ouhbi2015, title = {Mobile personal health records for cardiovascular patients}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2015 IEEE World Conference on Complex Systems, WCCS 2015}, year = {2015}, note = {cited By 0}, abstract = {Monitoring the heart rate and keeping track of the pulse are important actions in the prevention and the treatment of many diseases, particularly heart diseases. A mobile personal health record (mPHR) offers users with cardiovascular problems the possibility to improve the management of their heart rate along with other health data. A large number of apps have been developed to provide users with the opportunity to choose mPHRs within a mobile platform proposing different functionalities. This paper identifies the current list of free mPHRs available in Android platform for smartphone users with cardiovascular problems. This paper also assesses the specifications of the mPHRs selected. The result of this study may assist mPHR seekers to monitor heart rate in their tasks. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.}, doi = {10.1109/ICoCS.2015.7483226}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84978401610\&doi=10.1109\%2fICoCS.2015.7483226\&partnerID=40\&md5=548310db175feeb3c9b3ec02d9ed625a}, author = {Ouhbi, S.a and Idri, A.a and Fern{\'a}ndez-Alem{\'a}n, J.L.b and Toval, A.b} }
