Maternal telemedicine gained in use and popularity during the pandemic. The meta analysis in the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare looked at observational and eight randomized controlled studies to measure its efficacy.

It found that the telehealth and face-to-face groups were similar in such measures as fetal-neonatal growth and development, neonatal health problems and mortality, and care costs.
