N2 - Mobile and web health applications have gained widespread usage worldwide for pediatric patients with chronic diseases, yet comprehensive research evaluating their impact remains limited. This research aims to determine the comprehensive impact of mobile and web health apps on pediatric chronic disease management and quality of life. Searches were performed on seven primary databases (Emerald Insight, Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, ProQuest, Ebsco, and SpringerLink) from 2003 to 2023. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 Statement guidelines. The quality study was conducted using JBI's critical appraisal tools. Descriptive and narrative analysis methods were used, and the findings were presented in text and tabular formats. Out of 1,840 articles reviewed, only 28 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most identified outcomes in the study of mobile and web health apps on pediatric chronic disease management are psychological, cognitive, and behavioural outcomes and quality of life. However, biological markers seem to be the least evaluated outcome. Mobile and web health applications play a positive role in managing chronic diseases and enhancing the quality of life for pediatric patients. These applications offer a range of features, including symptom assessment, information dissemination, educational resources, caregiver communication, social support, and calendar reminders. Healthcare providers and caregivers should consider integrating these technologies into caring for children with chronic diseases. It can lead to improved outcomes and overall well-being.
