Abstract: Chronic diseases are described broadly as problems that persist a year or longer and necessitate continuing medical attention, impede daily activities, or both. Many telehealth programs are now being developed in order to solve time, location, and financial constraints, as well as to increase patient education and adherence in order to maintain health results. This study will cover a variety of research subjects, including what a digital stethoscope is and how it might help reduce chronic disease rates by enhancing self-monitoring, establishing tele-auscultation, and tele-homecare. We searched several papers from 2018 to 2023 for information about Digital Stethoscope and Chronic Diseases. Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science, were among the databases used. Relevant publications were also found using anthropological and social science databases. According to the 40 journals, digital stethoscopes have been proven to be able to detect normal and abnormal sounds in the heart, lungs, abdomen, and carotid. Remote auscultation examinations carried out between specialists also showed harmonious results. Digital stethoscopes are more practical, affordable, and overcome distance and time problems in accessing health services. Self-monitoring with a digital stethoscope could increase the patient’s knowledge about the diseases and the symptoms can be known earlier. In primary health services, digital stethoscopes are useful for the screening process and integrating data into secondary health services and it can facilitate communication between physicians about the patient’s condition. In tele homecare, digital stethoscopes are important to improve the quality of telemonitoring in patients with chronic diseases to avoid poor outcomes.
