<p>Health risk management (HRM) plays a critical role in improving population health by addressing factors that contribute to various diseases and conditions. Persuasive technology (PT) has demonstrated potential in HRM, leveraging techniques such as goal setting, feedback, and personalization to foster behavior change. While existing systematic reviews in this area primarily focus on specific health conditions or intervention design strategies, the broader application of PT for HRM remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by synthesizing findings from published studies that have applied PT techniques to HRM, without limiting the focus to specific health conditions. A systematic review was conducted following the Tranfield et al.’s approach and PRISMA guidelines. Of the 28 studies reviewed, 25% (<InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">\(n=7\)</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>) focused on general health risks. Physical activity was the most frequently targeted behavior, addressed in 82.14% of the studies. Mobile health applications were the most used platform (35.71%), followed by web-based platforms (32.14%) and wearable devices (25%). Feedback emerged as the most frequently employed PT technique (67.86%), followed by goal setting (39.29%) and personalization (39.29%), which were also widely utilized. Despite evidence supporting PT-based interventions, developing tailored interventions presents ongoing challenges, particularly for underserved populations. Many interventions adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, neglecting population-specific characteristics and needs. Further research is needed to develop personalized and inclusive PT interventions that better address the unique health risks faced by diverse populations.</p>
