Abstract

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer require ongoing nursing care and patient self-management. Technopreneurship, combining technological innovation with entrepreneurship, offers digital solutions for chronic disease nursing, though systematic evidence remains limited. This systematic review, guided by PRISMA 2020 and Cochrane protocols, searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Wiley Online for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from 2019–2025. Eligible studies included nurse-led or nurse-involved digital interventions for adults with chronic diseases. Fourteen high-quality RCTs met inclusion, assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Studies (sample sizes 45–559) were conducted in countries such as the USA, China, Hong Kong, France, Turkey, Singapore, and Australia. Interventions included mobile applications, telemonitoring, eHealth platforms, web-based education, and hybrid care. Findings showed improved adherence, symptom control, quality of life, clinical indicators, nursing efficiency, and patient engagement. Despite promising results, small samples, short intervention periods, and context-specific populations limit generalizability. Technopreneurship-driven innovations enhance personalized, continuous, and accessible care. Future research should explore large-scale, long-term trials to ensure sustainability and wider adoption.
