Mobile digital technology has spread widely in recent years in the form of mobile devices that have the potential to become an aid to clinical practice, tending to improve the patient physician relationship. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can become useful, fast, accessible and simple tools in the field of Medicine. According to the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) the maternal mortality rate in Uruguay is 30.7 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2020, doubling the rates of 2018 and 2019. The Personalized Perinatal Monitoring application (SEPEPE) seeks to improve quality of pregnancy follow up with a more personalized patient physician interaction throughout the pregnancy. SEPEPE puts into practice for the first time the concept of a recipe app called “RecetApp”. A critical and exhaustive analysis of SEPEPE indicates that its 13 pregnancy profiles cover the variety of clinical cases. The objective of this research is to get to know the SEPEPE tool for clinical use, comparing it with self-help applications published or available on the market. Second, adjustments to the behavior of SEPEPE based on the standards of care for low and high risk pregnancy are proposed. The method used to describe the new technologies was the systematic review of the literature. The suggestions emanate from the comparison of the SEPEPE specification with the care standards for high- and low-risk pregnancy. These new suggestions will be useful for future versions of SEPEPE. The results show that there is no application on the market that covers different pregnancy profiles like SEPEPE, since all the apps focus on a single pathology. It is concluded that the SEPEPE app must be subjected to intense simulations that demonstrate its usefulness so that it can be integrate in to the health system.
