Abstract:Objective To conduct a scoping review of research on the application of mobile health technology in home care for chronic wounds, to summarize the fundamental aspects, application outcomes, and existing issues of mobile health technologies in home care for chronic wounds, and to provide insights to promote the development of chronic wound home care.Methods A systematic search was conducted across databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Weipu, and the China Biomedical Literature Database.The search period extended from the inception of these databases until May 18, 2024, and included a comprehensive analysis of the identified studies.Results A total of 43 articles were included in the review.Mobile health technologies primarily encompass applications, mobile network platforms, wearable devices, and telehealth systems.The types of chronic wounds managed include pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, lower limb venous ulcers, and difficult-to-heal surgical wounds.Interventions involve health education, wound management, home monitoring, and home treatment.Outcome measures include treatment effectiveness, healthcare utilization, self-management indicators, and patient-provider experiences.Conclusion The application of mobile health technologies in home care for chronic wounds can reduce patient healthcare costs and demonstrates feasibility, effectiveness, and safety.Future efforts should focus on improving relevant laws and regulations to protect the rights of patients and healthcare providers, as well as conducting more high-quality research to enhance patient outcomes.
