I am looking for systematic review papers about mobile technology and education, especially in medical education. I am looking mostly for research papers conducted in US/Europe after 2012.
You can search in the Cochrane and other databases that publish or index systematic review papers. Moreover, I recommend you to search in PubMed limiting for revews only.
You can have a look at my published systematic review as a sample for the search methodology if you want. Here are the information sources I have used in my paper.
"Databases including PubMed, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED), Health Technology Assessment (HTA), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Web of Science were searched using relevant keywords. Furthermore, a Google search was used to locate websites of available registries for complementary information."
Good luck

For a theoretical view of mobile learning I would recommend the work of Mike Sharples and his colleagues. Perhaps systematic reviews take into account learning theories.
My colleagues and I made a conference presentation that may be of interest to you. There is no actual paper, but the PPT slides are linked below. We have a journal version in the works.
This presentation does not address medical education but rather is a meta-analysis of how Mobile Assisted Language Learning is being used.

a good one would be Frohberg et al work. Although written back in 2009, it covers more than the research trends and highlights some pertinent issues related to mlearning
The NMC Horizon Project, publishes a yearly report based on an ongoing research project designed to identify emerging technologies likely to impact learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in education. The Executive Summary may be of interest.
Dear Sokratis, I enclose a link to a publication on 'Mobile pedagogy for English language teaching'. It is a bit far removed from medical education, but maybe you find some parts useful.

I hope this could be related from a real-life experience in university teaching. http://www.iosrjournals.org/iosr-jrme/papers/Vol-6%20Issue-1/Version-2/E06122435.pdf
I am looking for similar resources...and came across this citation:

This was a review I did (with criteria so with a system though not necessarily with the scope of a true systematic review)
