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.
