Due to their ability to collect person-generated health data, digital tools and connected health devices may hold great utility in disease prevention, chronic disease self-monitoring and self-tracking, as well as in tailoring information and educational content to fit individual needs. Facilitators and barriers to the use of digital health technologies vary across demographics, including sex. The "femtech" market is growing rapidly, and women are some of the largest adopters of digital health technologies.
This paper aims to provide the background and methods for conducting a scoping review on the use of person-generated health data from connected devices in women's health. The objectives of the scoping review are to identify the various contexts of digital technologies in women's health and to consolidate women's views on the usability and acceptability of the devices.
Searches were conducted in the following databases: Medline, Embase, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL Complete, and Web of Science Core Collection. We included articles from January 2015 to February 2020. Screening of articles was done independently by at least two authors in two stages. Data charting is being conducted in duplicate. Results will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist.
Our search identified 9102 articles after deduplication. As of November 2020, the full-text screening stage is almost complete and data charting is in progress. The scoping review is expected to be completed by Fall 2021.
This scoping review will broadly map the literature regarding the contexts and acceptability of digital health tools for women. The results from this review will be useful in guiding future digital health and women's health research.

由于具备收集个人生成的健康数据的能力,数字工具和互联健康设备在疾病预防、慢性病自我监测与自我追踪,以及使信息和教育内容符合个体需求方面可能具有巨大效用。数字健康技术的促进因素和障碍在不同人口统计学特征(包括性别)中存在差异。“女性科技”市场正在迅速增长,女性是数字健康技术的最大采用者之一。
本文旨在提供对使用来自互联设备的个人生成的健康数据在女性健康中的应用进行范围综述的背景和方法。范围综述的目的是确定数字技术在女性健康中的各种背景情况,并汇总女性对这些设备的可用性和可接受性的看法。
在以下数据库中进行检索:医学期刊数据库(Medline)、荷兰医学文摘数据库(Embase)、美国心理学会心理学文摘数据库(APA PsycInfo)、护理学与健康领域数据库(CINAHL Complete)以及科学引文索引核心合集(Web of Science Core Collection)。我们纳入了2015年1月至2020年2月的文章。文章筛选由至少两名作者分两个阶段独立完成。数据图表制作正在进行双份操作。结果将使用系统评价和Meta分析扩展版的范围综述报告规范(PRISMA-ScR)清单进行报告。
我们的检索在去重后识别出9102篇文章。截至2020年11月,全文筛选阶段几乎完成,数据图表制作正在进行中。范围综述预计将于2021年秋季完成。
本次范围综述将广泛梳理关于女性数字健康工具的背景情况和可接受性的文献。本次综述的结果将有助于指导未来的数字健康和女性健康研究。
