Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses significant health risks to both mothers and newborns, requiring rigorous self-management frequent medical consultations. Advances in information communications technology (ICT) have shown promising results reducing the number of in-person visits for GDM management. ICT enhances patient self-care engagement, with some studies reporting reductions average blood glucose HbA1c levels. management has demonstrated benefits such as fewer visits, improved adherence self-monitoring glucose, increased global user satisfaction, maintenance control perinatal outcomes. Common barriers include technological literacy, inadequate education, limited technical support, additional burden non-customized applications, restricted interoperability. Further research is needed on impact optimize digital solutions.
