This study reviews how technology-based interventions have been designed and implemented to promote lung cancer screening (LCS), support shared decision-making, and enhance patient engagement. A systematic search of six databases in February 2025 identified 28 eligible studies published between 2014 and 2025. Most interventions were home-based and self-guided, including videos, websites, mobile apps, telehealth, and patient portal messages. Common features included risk calculators, multimedia content, simplified navigation, and integration with electronic medical records. These tools aim to raise awareness, improve informed decision-making, and support smoking cessation. While 82% of studies reported positive effects on knowledge and decision-making confidence, only some showed an increased screening uptake. Key barriers included limited internet access, low digital literacy, provider time constraints, fear or anxiety, and concerns about radiation or cost. Despite these challenges, digital tools show promise in advancing LCS promotion. Their effectiveness, however, depends on thoughtful design, integration into clinical workflows, and equitable access. Future work should address structural and contextual challenges to scale digital health solutions and reduce disparities in screening participation. This review identifies both the potential and limitations of current interventions and offers guidance for enhancing impact through targeted, accessible, and user-informed approaches.
