- Digital health interventions (DHIs) significantly improve hip function and functional independence in older patients with hip fractures.
- No significant differences were found in balance function, risk of falling, and quality of life between DHI and control groups.
- Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences based on intervention duration, but point estimates favored shorter durations for functional independence.
- The study highlights substantial heterogeneity in outcomes, suggesting variability in real-world responses to DHIs.
- Further research is needed to determine optimal techniques and dosages for DHIs in clinical practice.
