Abstrakt:	Objective: Development and evaluation of a mobile application for remote monitoring and guidance of pediatric patients diagnosed with cleft lip and/or palate (CL ± P) and their caregivers. Design: This is a pilot cross-sectional, applied, and quantitative study. Setting: The study was conducted in two tertiary care treatment centers in Brazil. Participants: The participants included 20 caregivers and infants undergoing treatment with nasoalveolar molding (NAM) for CL ± P. Interventions: The intervention involved using the TeleCleft mobile application for remote monitoring and guidance of caregivers and infants during NAM treatment. Main Outcome Measure(s): The main outcome measures included usability and satisfaction of users with the TeleCleft application. Results: The results showed high usability and satisfaction ratings among users of the TeleCleft application. Most participants found remote monitoring to be effective and expressed positive opinions about its convenience and usefulness. Conclusion: TeleCleft could be a viable tool for remote monitoring and guidance, reducing the need for patients and caregivers to travel to treatment centers, which could potentially alleviate the burden of care faced by families during the journey of CL ± P treatment.
