Canadian healthcare suffers rural disparities, especially in maternal and prenatal care. Drawing on a literature review, the paper highlights the potential of mobile health (mHealth) applications to bridge this gap and improve maternal care in rural communities. mHealth tools have great potential for knowledge and trust-building among healthcare workers and pregnant women. To support the success of these solutions, more funding and policy support are required. mHealth solutions have a great potential for great economic savings while addressing healthcare disparities and ensuring everyone has access to high quality care.
