Digital transformation has brought about fundamental changes in the delivery of healthcare services and the ways in which individuals access health-related information. Mobile health applications (m-health), in particular, have become important tools for individuals to monitor their own health, access healthcare services more easily, and improve their quality of life. However, it is not possible to say that all social groups benefit equally from this digital transformation process. Gender is one of the key variables that directly affects individuals' access to and use of health technologies.

Although women are both users of healthcare services and often the key decision-makers regarding health within the family, they encounter various structural and cultural barriers in accessing digital health tools. Digital literacy levels, economic dependence, privacy concerns, and traditional gender roles are among the foremost of these barriers. In this context, there is a significant tension between the opportunities offered by technological solutions such as mobile health applications and gender-based limiting dynamics.

This study aims to evaluate women's access to and use of mobile health applications in the context of gender. Based on a literature review and national/international secondary data, it seeks to present a multidimensional analysis of women's experiences in the digital health field, thereby aiming to both highlight digital inequalities in healthcare services and contribute to digital health policies that prioritise gender equality.
