Abstract

Health literacy is a critical determinant of patient outcomes, particularly in the context of remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems, which rely on users' ability to understand and act on health-related information. In multilingual and culturally diverse communities, conventional digital health tools often fail to accommodate language preferences, literacy levels, and cultural beliefs, resulting in low engagement and reduced efficacy of RPM interventions. This abstract presents a systematic review of recent advances in culturally responsive health literacy tools designed to enhance RPM adoption and effectiveness in such settings. Drawing on studies from 2012 to 2023, the review synthesizes data from 42 peer-reviewed articles, pilot projects, and digital health innovation reports sourced from PubMed, Scopus, and WHO databases. The analysis highlights the integration of visual aids, culturally tailored health narratives, voice-enabled multilingual interfaces, and community health worker (CHW)-mediated interventions as significant innovations that have improved user engagement, self-management, and health outcomes in remote settings. Key findings indicate that tools co-designed with local communities—reflecting their language, customs, and health perceptions—are more likely to be accepted and used consistently. Interactive features such as pictograms, localized avatars, and culturally meaningful metaphors increase comprehension and trust in RPM systems. Additionally, the deployment of chatbots and mobile applications supporting indigenous languages and dialects has enabled more equitable health communication, particularly in low-literacy populations. Despite these advances, challenges remain, including limited funding for content localization, lack of cross-platform interoperability, and insufficient training for health professionals on culturally competent communication. The review concludes that a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach involving linguists, cultural experts, technologists, and public health professionals is essential for developing inclusive RPM tools. This research underscores the transformative potential of culturally responsive health literacy tools in reducing health disparities and promoting digital health equity. As RPM continues to expand globally, prioritizing inclusivity and cultural relevance will be key to ensuring that no population is left behind in the digital health revolution.
