Abstract
Mobile health monitoring systems (MHMS) have emerged as a critical tool to address healthcare disparities in urban slums. A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases including PubMed and Web of Science. Studies from to were included based on predefined inclusion criteria. The longitudinal analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between MHMS use and improved health outcomes among migrant workers (p < 0.05, $r = 0.78 \pm 0.04$). MHMS have shown promise in enhancing the well-being of migrant workers in Lagos Slums through regular monitoring and timely interventions. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness while addressing privacy concerns.
