<![CDATA[Geographical barriers and robust social stigma continue to pose significant obstacles in developing nations to accessing precise reproductive health information. The integration of digital technology into family planning services has emerged as an innovative solution to address this access divide. The objective of this review is to depict the diverse forms of digital educational media innovations in contraceptive counseling and to evaluate their influence on the decision-making process regarding contraceptive use. A systematic search was conducted in the PubMed, Google Scholar, Wiley Online Library, and Cochrane databases as part of a scoping review that adhered to the PRISMA-ScR framework. The JBI Critical Appraisal instrument was employed to evaluate the quality of a total of 12 articles. The synthesis results indicate that digital innovations are implemented in the form of social media edutainment platforms, algorithm-based decision-support applications, and automated text/voice messages. In comparison to conventional methods, these interventions have been demonstrated to substantially enhance health literacy and increase the likelihood of modern contraceptive use by 1.6 to 2.4 times. Although the incorporation of privacy features and the use of local languages has been effective in enhancing women's autonomy, it continues to encounter challenges, such as gender disparities in access to digital devices and limited internet infrastructure. In summary, the incorporation of digital technology has the potential to revolutionize the experience of contraceptive counseling by making it more interactive and personalized. However, it is necessary to employ strategies that are adaptable to local cultural values and social structures in order to guarantee long-term acceptance.]]>
