The search was limited to studiesperformed in the last 6 years, that is, from 1 January 2017 to 18 March 2023. Results: From theinitial sample of 132 articles selected, the final sample included 9 articles that met the eligibilitycriteria after a more exhaustive analysis. This systematic review identified one application (11.11%)with topics about sex and reproductive health, two applications (22.22%) that tackled mental health,six applications (66.66%) with topics about nutrition, three applications (33.33%) that contemplatephysical activity, and two applications (22.22%) with aspects related to the prevention of harmfulhabits. The results show a positive relationship between the use of mobile health applications used asinnovative didactic resources and the establishment of healthy habits in the adolescent population.Conclusions: Digital devices have been incorporated to the lives of humans as fundamental tools fortheir daily living.
