Abstract

Thyroid disorders impact millions globally, necessitating continuous monitoring and timely intervention. The emergence of advanced medical technologies has transformed home-based thyroid care, offering innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment, and management. This review explores key technologies, including wearable devices, mobile health applications, telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and at-home testing kits. These advancements enhance patient engagement, provide real-time monitoring, and enable early detection of thyroid dysfunctions. While these innovations improve accessibility and healthcare efficiency, challenges such as data security, device accuracy, and regulatory compliance remain. The integration of AI and blockchain may further optimise remote thyroid care. Addressing these challenges through research and policy development is essential. Future advancements hold the potential to revolutionise thyroid healthcare, improving patient outcomes and reducing reliance on traditional clinical settings.

Conclusion

The advancement of medical technology has transformed home-based thyroid care, making monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment more accessible and efficient. Wearable devices, mobile health applications, and telemedicine have empowered patients with real-time health tracking and remote consultations. AI-powered diagnostic tools and at-home thyroid function tests have improved early detection and enabled personalised treatment strategies. Additionally, dietary and lifestyle changes play a vital role in maintaining thyroid health. However, challenges such as data security, device precision, and regulatory compliance must be addressed for broader implementation. Emerging innovations in AI, blockchain, and miniaturised wearable technology have the potential to enhance thyroid care further. Ongoing research and policy updates will be crucial in ensuring these advancements remain reliable and effective. By integrating these technologies, patients can actively manage their thyroid health, leading to better outcomes and reduced reliance on conventional healthcare systems.
