While digital tools aim to bridge the care gap for the 1 in 10 children facing neurodevelopmental challenges, a critical evidence void remains.
Consequently, Kelsie Ann Boulton and her colleagues from the University of Sydney conducted a systematic review to evaluate the information quality, utility, and evidence base of digital resources currently marketed for childhood developmental concerns.
