20.500.12556/DKUM-97858 Person-centered care in digital health interventions for chronic diseases a systematic review Background/Objectives: Digital health interventions are increasingly used to support person-centered care (PCC) in chronic disease management, yet it remains unclear which PCC components are most consistently enabled by digital tools and how these relate to outcomes. This study synthesized evidence on digitally supported PCC for adults with chronic conditions, examining how interventions operationalize PCC and which clinical, patient-reported, and implementation outcomes are reported. Methods: A structured literature synthesis was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines across a heterogeneous evidence base, including randomized and pragmatic trials, observational studies, qualitative studies, and systematic reviews. The review protocol was pre-registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF) Registries. Results: Across 16 included studies, digital solutions most consistently supported PCC through enhanced situational awareness via self-monitoring, strengthened partnership through two-way communication and coaching, and reinforced shared documentation through co-created health plans. Benefits were reported most consistently for process and experience outcomes, such as perceived access to support, engagement, and empowerment. Evidence for sustained long-term clinical improvements, such as glycemic control, was mixed and frequently limited by short follow-up periods and variation in intervention integration. Conclusions: Digitalization can strengthen PCC when embedded within relational care models and organizational workflows that translate patient-generated data into meaningful action. Future work should utilize clearer PCC operationalization, longer follow-up, and routine reporting of equity outcomes, alongside targeted training for healthcare professionals delivering PCC in digital encounters. person-centered care chronic diseases digital transformation sustainable development na osebo osredotočena nega kronične bolezni digitalna transformacija trajnostni razvoj true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-04-21 03:10:17 2026-04-21 09:07:54 2026-04-22 03:11:31 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 1-22 št. 8, št. članka1048 Letn. 14 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2026-03-18 2026-04-10 2026-04-15 616-039.33-083:004.9 275647747 10.3390/healthcare14081048 2227-9032 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/14/8/1048 1 dd461cf8-3d1e-11f1-90ac-00155d0001a1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=205484 healthcare-14-01048.pdf healthcare-14-01048.pdf 1 B98E48B9D1D24A0773052587CF13E1B2 c614a85c80a950d6cf1542c372cf07e24a9c7230c2ed9a82a04f25e37346f1bb 69eaf267-3d4f-11f1-90ac-00155d0001a1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=205485 Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
