Objective:

To scope and describe characteristics of respiratory digital health initiatives implemented in routine clinical practice over the last 10 years and to identify the implementation theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) used.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Chronic respiratory diseases affect over 545 million people globally and significantly impact quality of life.
    • Digital health tools can enhance monitoring and management of respiratory conditions, enabling timely interventions.
    • Implementation Theories, Models, and Frameworks (TMFs) are essential for guiding the integration of digital health technologies into routine care.
    • CFIR, NASSS, and RE-AIM are among the most widely used TMFs in the context of digital health implementation.
    • Harmonization of TMFs across borders and sectors is lacking, which hinders the digital transformation of healthcare.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Only a minority of digital health studies progress beyond pilot stages.
    • Lack of standardization in TMF terminology and domains across different regions.
    Conclusion:
