Core Tip	This mini-review examines how contrasting health system structures in China and India shape digital health implementation for rural diabetes care. While China's centralized approach enables uniform national platforms, India's decentralized system fosters adaptable local innovations. Digital interventions show clinical effectiveness when they complement existing healthcare structures, leverage community resources, and address contextual barriers. Co-creation involving people living with diabetes, primary healthcare providers, and local health administrators emerges as a critical success factor for intervention design and implementation. Future digital health investments should prioritize rural communities, participatory design processes, and sustainable implementation models to transform diabetes care for underserved communities worldwide.
