MHealth interventions have been studied in many research areas like HIV, Cancer, Smoking Cessation, Diabetic care etc. But extensive research has been limited to general areas. The aim of this review is to examine the current evidence on RCT's of mHealth interventions in the field of Maternal and Child Health.
