Objective: To analyze the educational technologies employed in the hospital discharge process of patients dependent or not on medical technologies and their family caregivers, discussing their advantages and limitations in the training of caregivers and patients. Methods: This is an integrative review. The sources used were the Nursing Database (BDENF), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health (PubMed), EMBASE, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Studies published between 2015 and 2025, available in full text, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, that addressed the topic were included. Results: Ten articles were selected. The technologies employed were: educational booklets, mobile applications, and in-person training. The technologies proved to be fundamental tools for training caregivers, promoting continuity of care, reducing the risk of readmissions, and promoting the autonomy of those involved. However, the application of these technologies is a challenge that limits their effectiveness and reinforces the importance of personalized and inclusive approaches. Conclusion: Educational technologies represent an effective and humanized strategy to transform the hospital discharge process into a safer and more efficient experience. Furthermore, they can contribute to cost reduction, improved quality indicators, and the promotion [...].
