Abstract: The rapid advancement of digital health technologies has transformed healthcare delivery, with telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and nursing practice becoming key components of smart community healthcare. These innovations enhance access to care, improve clinical decision-making, support chronic disease management, and address healthcare workforce and geographic challenges. Telemedicine enables remote consultations and continuity of care, while AI strengthens diagnostics, risk prediction, and resource management. Nurses play a vital role in implementing these technologies and ensuring patient-centered, ethical, and effective care. This review examines the integration of telemedicine, AI, and nursing practice in community healthcare, highlighting applications in chronic disease management, maternal and child health, mental health, elderly care, and public health. It also discusses opportunities, challenges, ethical concerns, and future directions. Successful adoption depends on strong infrastructure, digital literacy, supportive policies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. As healthcare continues to evolve digitally, nurses will remain central to translating technological innovations into improved health outcomes and equitable care.
