Short Summary of the Article:

The article provides a comprehensive scoping review of digital health interventions (DHIs) used to enhance preventive care in primary care settings. DHIs encompass technologies such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), mobile health applications, telehealth, and clinical decision support systems. These interventions aim to support different prevention levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The review highlights that the most frequent use of DHIs was for tertiary prevention (management of chronic conditions), but gaps remain in evaluating their impact on health disparities. The study found statistically significant improvements in patient outcomes, particularly in chronic disease management and care delivery.
