Background: Access to high-quality care is frequently restricted in low-resource communities because of financial, geographical, and infrastructure constraints. Tele-triage technologies have become an effective means to close this gap by providing health care providers with remote consultations and decision support. Aim of this study: This study aims to assess how health care providers in low-resource environments use tele-triage systems and how this affects women health outcomes. Methods: PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wiley Interscience, and other scientific databases were extensively searched. The researchers also searched the databases of international organizations that are studying how well health care providers in low-resource settings may improve maternal and newborn outcomes by using tele-triage systems. Results: Obstetrician and gynecologist using mobile phones for remote consultations were able to triage pregnant women and provide timely advice on potential complications such as preeclampsia or gestational diabetes. By detecting high-risk cases early, the remote guidance improved treatment and decreased needless referrals to far-off hospitals. Although the results are encouraging, there are a number of obstacles to the successful development of tele-triage systems in low-resource settings, including technological limitations, concerns about data privacy and security, and low levels of digital literacy among patients and healthcare professionals. Conclusion: In low-resource settings, tele-triage systems have the potential to improve care quality; Doctor and nurses report improved decision-making and lower referral rates. However, in order to fully utilize tele-triage, issues including technology constraints, inadequate training, and impediments to digital literacy must be resolved. Recommendations: Enhanced investment in digital infrastructure, customized training programs for health care providers, and community education will improve the implementation and sustainability of tele-triage systems.
