Digital, Mobile and Artificial Intelligence-Supported Interventions for Pressure Injury Prevention and Management: A...

This systematic review synthesized evidence on digital, mobile and artificial intelligence-supported interventions for pressure injury prevention and management in adult healthcare populations. Empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online through Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, with additional reference list, citation tracking, manual journal and trial registry searches. Eligible studies evaluated digital, mobile or artificial intelligence-supported approaches, including telehealth, wearable, remote monitoring and communication-based technologies, for adults at risk of or living with pressure injuries. Study selection, data extraction and quality appraisal were conducted independently by two reviewers. Findings were synthesized narratively because of heterogeneity across interventions, populations, settings and outcomes. Twelve studies published between 2017 and 2025 were included. The most consistent benefits were improved adherence to repositioning, monitoring visibility, documentation and caregiver or staff engagement. Evidence for reducing the incidence of pressure injuries and improving healing was less consistent. Implementation depended on workflow fit, usability, staff training, technical support, documentation systems, organizational ownership and sustainability planning. These interventions may strengthen pressure injury care by improving visibility, timeliness, documentation and coordination; however, evidence for sustained clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and long-term implementation remains limited.
