Abstract
With the increasing global prevalence of chronic diseases, traditional care models struggle to meet the demand for personalized care. Intelligent nursing technologies, including smart devices, remote care platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI), are revolutionizing chronic disease management by enhancing care quality, improving patient self-management, and alleviating healthcare resource pressure. This review explores the application and innovative models of intelligent technologies in chronic disease care, focusing on their roles in disease monitoring, remote intervention, and personalized care. The review also discusses the challenges and limitations in practical implementations, including issues of technology acceptance, data privacy, and security. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future directions of intelligent nursing technologies, emphasizing their potential in reshaping chronic disease care models globally. This paper offers theoretical support for the development of innovative chronic disease care models and provides practical insights for nursing practitioners, policymakers, and technology developers.
