Diabetes poses a growing global public health challenge, creating a strong demand for management approaches that can support long-term monitoring and timely intervention. This study evaluates how eHealth interventions contribute to diabetes management within public health surveillance by reviewing recent evidence on their functions and impact. The analysis covers major digital tools currently applied in diabetes care—such as mobile health applications, remote glucose monitoring devices, telemedicine services, electronic health record systems, and decision-support technologies—and examines their performance using findings reported in recent empirical studies. Results across the literature show that eHealth interventions can improve treatment adherence, strengthen data continuity, and enable earlier identification of glycemic deterioration through continuous or near real-time data exchange. These tools also enhance communication between patients and providers, facilitating more responsive clinical adjustments and contributing to better surveillance at the population level. Despite these advantages, issues including system interoperability, uneven digital access, and unresolved data privacy concerns continue to limit broader implementation. Overall, the evidence indicates that eHealth technologies offer meaningful support for diabetes management and surveillance, while also highlighting the need to improve digital infrastructure and data standards to fully leverage their public health potential.
