Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often causes cognitive-communication difficulties that significantly reduce quality of life, and digital health has the potential to improve access to rehabilitation and caregiver education despite limited synthesized evidence. A review of 44 studies involving 3,666 people with TBI and 213 caregivers found that digital interventions—most commonly delivered through a single modality such as telephone—were feasible and consistently reported positive outcomes, although methodological quality and reporting of intervention details were often limited. Greater methodological rigor, clearer intervention descriptions, consistent outcome measurement, and further investigation of multi-modal digital health approaches are needed to strengthen the evidence base.
