Prenatal care is a set of essential practices aimed at ensuring the health of both mother and fetus during pregnancy, with the implementation of programs that contribute to reducing maternal and infant mortality. This study presents an integrative literature review focused on technological advances applied to prenatal care, such as telehealth and ultrasound use, which have enhanced fetal screening and evaluation, as well as emerging technologies like genomic sequencing and in utero stem cell therapy. The research analyzed 12 relevant articles published between 2019 and 2024, highlighting the positive impact of these innovations, including the "GestAção" software, which improves the dissemination of information between pregnant women and healthcare professionals. Telehealth proved effective in facilitating remote exams and increasing the efficiency of care. However, challenges remain, such as inconsistencies in care guidelines and the need for equitable implementation of these technologies. It is concluded that technological advances in prenatal care have the potential to significantly transform the care experience, provided efforts are made to ensure their accessibility and efficiency for all pregnant women.
