Conventional rehabilitation and follow-up often depend on in-person visits and may not provide continuous assessment outside clinical settings. This scoping review mapped evidence on digital technologies used to monitor patients, assess respiratory symptoms and functional status, and support rehabilitation follow-up in chronic dust-induced lung diseases. Methods: The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception to 29 June 2026 without language restrictions. Five eligible publications were included. Results: The evidence was grouped into three categories: wearable monitoring of activity and respiratory symptoms, analysis of data from a digital rehabilitation platform, and electronic medical record (EMR) analysis. Wearable sensors showed high performance in recognizing basic activity states and cough events under controlled conditions. Platform- and EMR-based approaches showed potential for using clinical and functional data to support patient stratification and monitoring. However, most studies were limited to early technical or algorithmic validation and did not assess long-term home use, patient adherence, integration into clinical workflows, or clinical and rehabilitation outcomes. Conclusions: Digital technologies may support objective monitoring and rehabilitation follow-up in chronic dust-induced lung diseases, but the evidence base remains small and clinically immature. Prospective studies in real-world settings should evaluate usability, external validity, workflow integration, and clinically meaningful outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm16080407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T17:01:46Z","timestamp":1785344506000},"page":"407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Emerging Digital Technologies for Monitoring and Rehabilitation Support in Chronic Dust-Induced Lung Diseases: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7274-8101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nazym","family":"Sagandykova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Diseases, Corporate Fund \u201cUniversity Medical Center\u201d, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1244-8673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Madina","family":"Baurzhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandr","family":"Gulyayev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Laboratory of Drug Discovery and Development, Nazarbayev University, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Evidence-Based Medicine, JSC \u201cKaraganda Medical University\u201d, Karaganda 100008, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sayagul","family":"Kairgeldina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6030-620X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shyngys","family":"Sergazy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5876-7528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gulnur","family":"Daniyarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karlygash","family":"Absattarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kazakh National Medical University Named After S.D.
