Приложения для мобильных устройств; предназначенные для использования во время выезда в различные географические зоны; становятся все более доступными. Целью данного исследования было определение основных стратегий; используемых в мобильных приложениях; разработанных с целью снижения риска заражения инфекционными заболеваниями среди путешественников. Для этого был проведен анализ 73 журналов из базы данных PubMed с применением описательноаналитического метода. В исследование включены записи; опубликованные в период с 2018 по 2023 г.; собранные по ключевым словам «Приложение для путешественников» или «Инфекционные заболевания». Анализ данных проводился с помощью аналитических инструментов программы VOS viewer.

Учитывая события анализируемого в нашем исследовании периода; приложения; вошедшие в исследование; в основном были связаны с контролем распространения SARS-CoV-2-инфекции. Было выделено 4 основных тематических кластера приложений: получение и распространение информации о вспышке COVID-19; приложения для самодиагностики заболевания среди пользователей; оценка смертности и риска в конкретных сообществах; а также оценка индивидуального риска. Также была рассмотрена динамика паттерна существующих исследований с течением времени. Актуальные темы исследований включают приложения для оценки рисков при путешествиях; которые могут повысить осведомленность людей о эндемичных районах; предотвращение рисков для здоровья и раннее выявление признаков инфекционных заболеваний для раннего начала лечения. С помощью библиометрического анализа и методики визуализации сетей мы обобщили текущие достижения в сфере выявления и контроля инфекционных заболеваний у путешественников; чтобы выделить текущие тренды; тенденции и актуальные задачи данного направления. Полученные результаты могут быть полезны для грядущих исследований в рассмотренной предметной области.

Traveler apps for mobile devices such as smartphones are becoming more widely available. This study aimed to identify traveler infectious disease self-monitoring implementation strategies on a mobile application. It analyzed 73 journals from the PubMed database using the descriptive-analytic method. The records used in this exploration study were those released between 2018 and 2023 that were collected based on the keywords “travelers’ application;” or “infectious disease”. Data analysis was conducted using the VOS viewer software analytical tools.

According to the findings; studies on traveler application domination with pandemic COVID-19 travel apps used. The study on mobile applications for traveler applications on infectious disease revealed four clusters of dominant themes: information about the COVID-19 outbreak; application related to diagnosis for travelers; measurement community mortality and risk; and respondent risk assessment. This study also looked at research patterns throughout time. Current research themes concern travel risk applications that can raise people’s knowledge of endemic areas; health risk avoidance; and early identification of infectious illness signs to recommend beginning management. Through bibliometric analysis and network visualization; the researchers summarized current developments in infectious disease for traveler’s research to shed light on their research frontier; trends; and hot themes. These findings could be useful for future research and views in this quickly evolving subject.
