Tiivistelmä
Introduction: Technology is revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered. Healthcare technology has become advanced so that it can be used in the comfort of our homes.
Remote health technology offers such solutions to having real-time monitoring, with advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT). However, studies on the challenges of using these technologies are prevalent as compared to the opportunities it provides.
This scoping review aims to map existing literatures on the rising trends in remote healthcare technologies, identify challenges and opportunities that healthcare system or providers face in implementing remote health services, and highlight gaps in current literature that needs to be addressed.
Method: A literature search was conducted in three databases, Google scholar, PubMed, and Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (IEEE), with a pre-defined inclusion criteria (full text published articles in English from 2014 to 2024) to identify relevant data for this study. The JBI’s three-step search strategy for a scoping review was used.
Result: overall, 4297 studied were found, and 21 studies was selected for the review after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The details of the search process was illustrated with a modified PRISMA-ScR f low chart following the PRISMA guidelines for conducting a scoping review. Using the thematic analysis to report the challenges identified, four themes (data privacy and security, interoperability and integration of challenge, personalized and patient-centered care, and regulatory and ethical concerns) were identified, with two sub-themes for each identified themes.
Conclusion: Remote health technology has seen remarkable growth in the last 10 years. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), wearable device , and Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way healthcare is delivered. Though there are obvious challenges to the use of remote healthcare technology, one needs to believe in future of the opportunities these device will bring as technological advancement is constant.
