To map current artificial intelligence applications in home-care and community nursing and synthesize reported implementation experiences, benefits, challenges, and future considerations.
Conducted a scoping review guided by Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR across eight databases and grey literature via ProQuest from January 1, 2020, to May 14, 2026.
Identified 3,254 initial records, screened 1,085 deduplicated reports, and assessed 38 full texts independently by multiple reviewers, yielding 16 included empirical studies.
Extracted and synthesized data descriptively and thematically to identify technological categories, clinical settings, outcomes, and barriers.
Included 16 studies categorized into three application domains: diagnostic and clinical assessment support, remote monitoring and risk prediction, and nursing workflow optimization and care coordination.
Identified qualitative benefits including clinical assessment assistance, proactive monitoring for chronic diseases, and perceived workflow reductions, though most systems remain early-stage without routine clinical validation.
Highlighted persistent implementation challenges, including small context-specific datasets, lack of interoperability, algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, and potential threats to relational nursing care.
