Investigating the application of IoT mobile app and healthcare services for diabetic elderly: A systematic review

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. e0321090 - e0321090

Published: April 15, 2025

As the prevalence of diabetes increases among elderly population, effective management becomes increasingly crucial. IoT mobile applications offer promising solutions for care by providing real-time monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle support. This paper aims to investigate potential challenges in managing patients. Three databases including Scopus, Web Science, IEEE were systematically searched; 29 articles screened final analysis process. Key results indicate that application apps includes blood glucose adherence, promotion physical activity, dietary control. Devices such as continuous monitors smart pill dispensers significantly improve glycemic control adherence rates, these technologies enable tracking, personalized feedback, timely interventions, which enhance self-management communication with healthcare providers. However, technical like interoperability, data security privacy, usability involvement policymakers pose significant barriers their implementation. Collaborative efforts from providers, device manufacturers, are essential overcome fully leverage benefits diabetic care. review highlights need collaborative develop standardized frameworks ensure compatibility seamless integration care, privacy advanced technology, design user-friendly generalization adoption fields elderly.

What are the perceptions and experiences of adults using mobile applications for self-management in diabetes? A systematic review

BMJ Open, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. e086671 - e086671

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Objectives Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that entails significant burdens to patients, caregivers and society at large. While self-management behaviours like healthy eating monitoring of blood glucose help reduce the care burden, they are still perceived be burdensome. Mobile applications have emerged as promising digital tools in helping patients self-manage their conditions. We conducted systematic review explore perceptions experiences adults with types 1, 2 gestational diabetes using mobile for diabetes. Design A published primary studies exploring living who used/have used self-management. The study was reported following best practice guidelines defined Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses. Data sources searched articles from January 2007 December 2023 via MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL (Ovid) Scopus (Elsevier). Eligibility criteria Primary qualitative describe between 2023. extraction synthesis Two independent reviewers screened identified papers eligibility, extracted data pre-defined form applied Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool appraise quality included studies. were narratively synthesised, guided by ‘unified theory acceptance use technology (UTAUT)’ framework.

More than 50% described favourable app features relating glucose, diet exercise while also emphasising importance customising these patient needs. About 40% unfavourable aspects related uploading excessive information, device incompatibility, episodic crashes telephone handling issues. Conclusion supports view self-manage. However, challenges on ease non-customised apps potentially hinder patients’ long-term engagement.
