Development of Digital Health Education Technologies in Community Spaces: A Systematic Review

In the era of rapid advancement in digital technologies (DT), leveraging these technologies to implement health education (HE) within community spaces (CS) can have a positive impact on mitigating public health events. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of HE initiatives utilizing DT in CS, with a comprehensive analysis of target groups, types of CS, types of DT employed, and key findings. This study adheres to the PRISMA guidelines. A thorough search was conducted across three databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. The research on the implementation of DT in community HE primarily focuses on community residents, the elderly, and community workers. The topics of HE mainly revolve around diseases, mental health, and health care. The primary implementation spaces are community centers. The main DT employed include mobile technology, digital courses and educational materials, and social media platforms. To promote the widespread application of DT in community HE in the future, it is essential to improve the usability and accessibility of these technologies, optimize educational processes, and strengthen policy support, thereby encouraging the active participation of both community workers and the public.
