- Abstract
Objective: Analyze the scientific literature addressing mobile technologies to prevent and diagnose diabetic foot ulcers and studies addressing foot care among individuals with diabetes mellitus. Method: this integrative literature review was conducted in the PubMed, LILACS, and BDENF databases in September 2019. The full texts of six studies were analyzed. Results: The studies date back to 2015, and all were identified in PubMed. Experimental studies stood out, totaling three (50%). As for the mobile technologies directed to prevention and self-care, two papers used mobile phone text messaging to reinforce the learning and practice of diabetic foot care, reporting satisfactory results. Four studies adopted technologies to diagnose foot ulcers. Although they used different methods, almost all of the studies monitored plantar foot temperature increases, which can serve as an alert system to detect foot ulcers early on. Conclusion: even though few studies were found, mobile technologies were effective to prevent and diagnose foot ulcers, and to promote foot care among individuals with diabetes.
