Objective: to investigate the scientific evidence on the use of mobile applications for the care of people with intestinal ostomy. Method: An integrative literature review was carried out in the MEDLINE, SciELO and LILACS databases, adopting a time frame of the period 2016-2021. Results: In total, 09 articles were selected whose results showed that the creation of mobile health applications has proved to be a valid strategy for monitoring and prescribing therapeutic conducts, due to its potential to combine theory with practice, contemplating the individual in its entirety and individuality, promoting and facilitating their rehabilitation. Conclusion: Therefore, mobile applications represent tools to promote self-care in intestinal ostomized patients for the prevention of complications in peristomal skin, resulting in a great innovation due to its benefits in terms of quality, speed, dynamism and safety. However, there is still a gap related to the timid production of studies.
