This study presents an ontology that scopes the digital health ecosystem from a consumer-centered perspective. We used a mixed-method analysis on a set of papers collected for a comprehensive review to identify common themes, components, and patterns that repeatedly emerge within Australian-based digital health studies. Three major and four child themes were identified as the foundational aspects of the proposed ontology. The child themes have more precise concept definitions, inherited and distinguishing attributes. Out of 179 recognized concepts, 33 were related to the Healthcare theme; 23 concepts formed a cluster of employed devices under the Technology theme; 40 concepts were associated with Use and Usability factors. 60 other concepts formed the cluster of the consumer-user theme. The theme of Digital Health was seen as being connected to 2 independent clusters. The main cluster embodied 21 extracted concepts, semantically related to "data, information, and knowledge," whilst the second cluster embodied concepts related to "healthcare." Different stakeholders can utilize this ontology to define their landscape of digitally enabled healthcare. The novelty of this work resides in capturing a consumer-centered perspective and the method we used in deriving the ontology - formalizing the results of a systematic review based on data-driven analysis methods.
本研究提出了一个本体，从以消费者为中心的角度来界定数字健康生态系统。我们对一组为全面综述收集的论文进行了混合方法分析，以确定在澳大利亚数字健康研究中反复出现的共同主题、组成部分和模式。确定了三个主要主题和四个子主题作为所提议本体的基础方面。子主题具有更精确的概念定义、继承和区分属性。在 179 个公认的概念中，33 个与医疗保健主题有关；23 个概念构成了技术主题下所使用设备的一个集群；40 个概念与使用和可用性因素有关。60 个其他概念形成了消费者用户主题的集群。数字健康主题被视为与 2 个独立的集群相关联。主要集群包含 21 个提取的概念，语义上与“数据、信息和知识”相关，而第二个集群则包含与“医疗保健”相关的概念。不同的利益相关者可以利用这个本体来定义他们的数字化医疗保健领域。这项工作的新颖之处在于捕捉到了以消费者为中心的视角，以及我们在推导本体时使用的方法——基于数据驱动的分析方法对系统综述的结果进行形式化。
