However, the breadth and implementation strategies of such technologies remain underexplored. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim\/objectives:<\/jats:title><jats:p> This scoping review aimed to map empirical studies from 2015 to 2025 that used AI for symptom assessment, mortality prediction and care planning in palliative settings. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The review followed Arksey and O\u2019Malley's five-stage framework for scoping reviews and was reported according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Included studies were appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 12 peer-reviewed studies were included, revealing five major themes: (1) Predictive modeling for mortality and referral, enabling early identification of high-risk patients; (2) Automated symptom detection, improving distress surveillance via NLP and decision trees; (3) Wearable and time-series forecasting, allowing real-time physiologic tracking; (4) Workflow integration, demonstrating seamless adoption of AI tools in clinical systems; and (5) Explainability and trust, where interpretable outputs enhanced clinician confidence. These studies showed improved symptom control, timely referrals and interdisciplinary coordination. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> AI offers promising solutions to enhance palliative nursing through proactive, data-driven care. Ethical implementation, training, and validation are key to sustainable adoption. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2025.0041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,19]],"date-time":"2025-06-19T07:14:54Z","timestamp":1750317294000},"page":"294-306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Artificial intelligence in symptom management and clinical decision support for palliative care"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Roison Andro","family":"Narvaez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Registered nurse, Centro Escolar University, Manila, Phillippines."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marilane","family":"Ferrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registered nurse, Centro Escolar University, Manila, Phillippines."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ralph Antonio","family":"Peco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registered nurse, Centro Escolar University, Manila, Phillippines."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joylyn","family":"Mejilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registered nurse, Centro Escolar University, Manila, Phillippines."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12911-018-0677-8"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2021.10.014"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2023.03.006"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/OP.21.00179"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.23.01291"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/EFI-180221"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2024.01.009"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-61627-w"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-5-69"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/47366"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2022.28.12.583"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/GO-24-00432"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/CCI.24.00041"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/CCI.24.00041"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2021.11.008"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-39119-0"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M18-0850"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2023.02.317"},{"key":"B21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-024-01457-9"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Palliative Nursing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/ijpn.2025.0041","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,3]],"date-time":"2025-09-03T17:09:47Z","timestamp":1756919387000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/10.12968\/ijpn.2025.0041"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/ijpn.2025.0041"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/ijpn.2025.0041","relation":{},"ISSN":["1357-6321","2052-286X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1357-6321","type":"print"},{"value":"2052-286X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,2]]}}}
