This integrative review explores the use of digital health technologies in palliative care within Southeast Asia. Despite extensive documentation of digital health in palliative care in Western nations, its application in Southeast Asia remains underdeveloped.
The review includes a total of four papers meeting the eligibility criteria.
The findings reveal limited studies of digital health adoption in palliative care. Key technologies include mobile health applications, electronic health records and telemedicine platforms. Challenges, such as health inequities, data security and the need for technology validation were identified. The review underscores the necessity for region-specific research to address these challenges and improve the integration of digital health in palliative care.
This study highlights the potential of digital health to enhance palliative care delivery and patient outcomes in Southeast Asia, advocating for increased adoption and tailored implementation strategies.
本综合述评探讨了数字健康技术在东南亚姑息治疗中的应用。尽管西方国家有大量关于姑息治疗中数字健康的文献记载，但在东南亚，其应用仍欠发达。
本综述共纳入符合纳入标准的 4 篇论文。
研究结果显示，姑息治疗中数字健康应用的研究有限。关键技术包括移动医疗应用、电子健康记录和远程医疗平台。还确定了一些挑战，如卫生不平等、数据安全以及对技术验证的需求。该综述强调需要进行特定于该地区的研究来解决这些挑战，并改善数字健康在姑息治疗中的整合。
本研究强调了数字健康在提高东南亚姑息治疗服务和患者结局方面的潜力，倡导更多采用和量身定制的实施策略。
