ABSTRACT Aim To synthesise the evidence on digital health technologies in home care for children with medical complexity in order to inform improvements in care practices. Design Scoping review. Data Sources The search was conducted in August 2025, covering five databases. Methods Two reviewers independently retrieved full‐text studies and conducted the initial screening of titles and abstracts, followed by full‐text analysis and data extraction. Results A total of 30 articles were included in this review. Articles were published between 2015 and 2025. The digital health technologies identified were categorised into six primary types and these technologies were found to serve five core functions. Conclusion Digital health technologies show broad potential in home care for children with medical complexity, optimising care and empowering families. Future work should evaluate long‐term effectiveness, integrate systems, and prioritise personalised, culturally adaptive designs. Impact This study addresses the challenge of managing home‐based care for children with medical complexity. It identifies six types of digital health technologies and their five core functions, providing a framework to guide healthcare professionals, organisations, policymakers, and developers in creating more effective, integrated support systems for these children and their families. Reporting Method This study adhered to the PRISMA‐ScR guideline. Patient or Public Contribution No patient or public contribution. Implications for the Profession and/or Patient Care The findings can guide the strategic implementation and development of digital health tools to enhance care coordination, support family caregivers, and improve the quality and experience of home‐based care for children with complex medical needs.
