Abstract

Introduction: Dengue fever is a public health problem that causes outbreaks in various regions of the country, including Indonesia, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Advances in information technology have introduced new design approaches that support patient education. Objective: This article aims to discuss mobile-based information technology to prevent dengue fever in society using a systematic review approach. Methods: This research method used a systematic review approach with the PRISMA protocol. The article search process was accessed on three electronic databases, namely PubMed, PLOS ONE, and Google Scholar. The keywords used in the search for journal articles are mobile applications, control of dengue fever, health promotion, and community. The articles’ criteria are primary data, year of publication (January 1, 2019 - October 6, 2020), in English, peer review, full-text articles, and discuss the use of mobile applications in controlling dengue fever. Result: The result obtained seven articles according to the inclusion criteria. The health applications consist of seven models, Mozzify, SMS, e-learning, FeverDX, Mobuzz, ThaiDengue, and VECTORS. The applications’ functions are as an educational medium, a dengue reporting system, and a prediction of dengue cases.
