Smart health is considered to be a new phase in the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare that can improve its efficiency and sustainability. However, based on our literature review on the concept of smart health, there is a lack of a comprehensive perspective on the concept of smart health and a framework for how to link the drivers and outcomes of smart health. This paper aims to interweave the drivers and outcomes in a multi-dimensional framework under the input-process-output (IPO) logic of the "system view" so as to promote a deeper understanding of the model of smart health. In addition to the collection of studies, we used the modified Delphi method (MDM) to invite 10 experts from different fields, and the views of the panelists were analyzed and integrated through a three-round iterative process to reach a consensus on the elements included in the conceptual framework. The study revealed that smart health contains five drivers (community, technology, policy, service, and management) and eight outcomes (efficient, smart, sustainable, planned, trustworthy, safe, equitable, health-beneficial, and economic). They all represent a unique aspect of smart health. This paper expands the research horizon of smart health, shifting from a single technology to multiple perspectives, such as community and management, to guide the development of policies and plans in order to promote smart health.
智能健康被认为是信息和通信技术（ICT）在医疗保健中应用的新阶段，它可以提高医疗保健的效率和可持续性。然而，根据我们对智能健康概念的文献综述，缺乏对智能健康概念的全面视角，以及如何将智能健康的驱动因素和结果联系起来的框架。本文旨在通过“系统观点”的投入-过程-产出（IPO）逻辑，将驱动因素和结果交织在一个多维框架中，以促进对智能健康模型的更深入理解。除了收集研究，我们还使用改良 Delphi 法（MDM）邀请了来自不同领域的 10 名专家，并通过三轮迭代过程对专家组的观点进行分析和整合，以就概念框架中包含的要素达成共识。研究表明，智能健康包含五个驱动因素（社区、技术、政策、服务和管理）和八个结果（高效、智能、可持续、规划、值得信赖、安全、公平、有益健康和经济）。它们都代表了智能健康的一个独特方面。本文扩展了智能健康的研究范围，从单一技术扩展到社区和管理等多个角度，以指导政策和计划的制定，从而促进智能健康的发展。
