Musculoskeletal conditions are a major source of disability worldwide, and its burden have been rising in the last decades. Rural areas, in particular, are associated with higher prevalence of these conditions as well as higher levels of disability, which is likely related to other determinants that affect these communities. Although digital health has been identified as a potential solution to mitigate the impact of these determinants, it is also known that these populations may face barriers that limit the implementation of these interventions. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to comprehensively map the evidence regarding the implementation of digital health interventions in rural populations with chronic musculoskeletal conditions. We will include studies published from the year 2000; that report the use of digital interventions that promote prevention, treatment or monitoring of any chronic musculoskeletal condition or chronic pain from musculoskeletal origin, in patients that live in rural areas. This protocol follows the methodological framework for scoping reviews proposed by Arksey and O’Malley, as well as the Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) approach. We will conduct the search on Medline (PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science and Scopus, as well as grey literature databases. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts followed by a full-text review to assess the eligibility of the articles. Data extracted will include the identification of the digital interventions used, barriers and enablers identified by the patients or healthcare providers, the patient-level outcomes measured, and the implementation strategies and outcomes reported. By mapping the evidence on the implementation of digital health interventions in rural communities with musculoskeletal conditions, this scoping review will enhance our understanding of their applicability in real-world settings.

“…The methodology for searching literature in this scoping review is outlined in Table 2, based on each PIO (Population, Intervention, Outcome) concept. Initial search terms were established through a preliminary review, particularly by identifying search terms adopted in prior studies on DHTs, older adults and metabolic health (5,21) (See Table 3). To ensure the search was both precise and comprehensive, all authors participated in a consensus-building process.…”

“…In line with recent calls for systematic synthesis of DHTs in healthcare (13,(16)(17)(18), several scoping reviews have recently overviewed the role of digital health applications in navigating NCDs (14,(19)(20)(21), health promotion (22), and their associated barriers and facilitators (19)(20)(21) among older adults. In parallel, a separate line of work has begun to review the scope of interventions in promoting behaviors related to metabolic health, such as physical activity and nutrition among older adults (5,23).…”

Introduction: Metabolic disorders (type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome) are leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide and disproportionately affect older adults relative to those younger. Digital health technologies (DHTs), such as patient monitoring, digital diagnostics, and digital therapeutics, emerge as promising tools for navigating health in day-to-day life. However, their role in targeting metabolic disorders, particularly among a key demographic of older adults, is not yet fully understood. Thus, this work aims to scope the use of DHTs in managing metabolic health disorders among older adults. Methods and Analysis: We will conduct a scoping review following the recommended framework by Arksey and O'Malley (1). Our search will focus on three primary concepts: metabolic disorders, DHTs, and older adults. We plan to search five online databases (Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) to identify original research articles published between January 2014 and January 2024. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for inclusion based on predetermined criteria, and a separate reviewer will resolve conflicts. Data will be extracted using a standardized form, and the findings will be synthesized and reported qualitatively and quantitatively. Ethics and dissemination. No ethics approval is required for this protocol and scoping review, as data will be used only from published studies with appropriate ethics approval. Results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed publication. This protocol has been preregistered on OSF Repository at: https://osf.io/9s8fm.

“…This expanded age criterion was needed in order to include potentially relevant articles in this limited area of research. Similar approaches have been utilized in past scoping reviews (Cheng et al, 2020). This review considered any type of study that utilized technology as a means to diminish levels of the outcome variables loneliness and/or social isolation, and included quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies.…”
