Peritoneal Dialysis and Digital Health: An Integrative Review

INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal dialysis has increasingly incorporated digital health resources over the past decade, particularly tools designed to support remote monitoring and self‑care. This integrative review aims to describe how digital applications are used by people undergoing peritoneal dialysis and to analyze their impact on clinical and operational outcomes. METHODS: Four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS and Scopus) were searched for studies published between 2017 and 2025. Study selection followed elements of the PRISMA 2020 guideline, and methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools. RESULTS: Seventeen studies were included, reporting 24 outcomes and 65 occurrences. Outcomes were grouped into five categories: health effects, psychosocial aspects, use of healthcare resources, limitations and safety. The most frequent outcomes were restricted use to automated peritoneal dialysis (16.7%), reduced costs, improved clinical control and increased safety in therapy management (7.69% each). No outcomes related to health education were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Digital applications used in peritoneal dialysis demonstrate positive impacts on clinical and operational outcomes, with no adverse effects reported. Further development of technologies that enhance health education, improve therapeutic efficiency and reduce healthcare costs is recommended.
