A Systematic Review of Internet of Things Technologies and Their Applications in The Early Detection And Management Of Diabetes Complications.

This study investigated the influence of Internet of Things (IoT) technology on early diagnosis and management of diabetes complications. A search of MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and AJOL discovered 17 randomized controlled trials from 2003 papers, focused on publications in low-resource countries from 2010 to 2024. Only 5.9% of included trials blinded outcome assessors, although 82.4% used genuine randomization. Most of the 14 mobile HbA1c apps studied showed significant benefits, especially those with tailored feedback or physician participation. IoT treatments may help manage diabetes, but they need instructional resources and struggle with accessibility. Health outcomes should be improved via oversight and personalized comments in future research.
