摘要

导读:以医疗和健康为目的的移动电话应用程序(app)和可穿戴设备的普及程度正在上升,但并不是每天都有新闻报道的移动健康(mHealth)创新解决方案都会持续并对人们的健康产生影响。这项基于新闻的水平扫描研究的目的是探索和确定可能影响未来健康和医疗保健的新兴移动技术。方法:根据Alexa排名,我们对排名靠前的科技网站进行了系统搜索,以确定与健康相关的移动技术。我们遵循EuroScan的水平扫描指南,该指南推荐了四个步骤:识别、过滤、优先排序、评估和结论。感兴趣的技术是移动医疗技术,无论其成熟度如何。技术的影响在四个方面进行了评估和评分:用户、技术、安全和成本。结果:通过电子检索,共识别出500篇新闻文章。筛选后,106项移动健康创新技术被纳入本研究。我们将纳入的技术分为三组:移动应用程序(n=37),智能连接设备(n=19)和可穿戴设备(n=50)。移动保健技术最常用于预防保健服务、精神保健服务和康复服务。在安全性和不良反应方面,技术组之间没有显著差异,但在目标人群、技术和成本方面,技术组之间存在显著差异。结论:公共和私营部门正在开发越来越多的基于移动技术的解决方案,但其中只有很少一部分经过了适当的科学评估。尽管有许多创新的移动应用程序、可穿戴设备和智能连接设备在商业上可用,但它们很少真正用于诊所、医院和健康中心。显然需要改变医疗保健服务模式,以释放这些创新技术的全部潜力。

New and Emerging Mobile Technologies for Healthcare (mHealth): A Horizon Scanning Study
Introduction: The popularity of mobile phone applications (Apps) and wearable devices for medical and health purposes is on the rise, but not all the mobile health (mHealth) innovative solutions that hit the news every day will sustain and have an impact on the health of people. The aim of this news-based horizon scanning study was to explore and identify new and emerging mobile technologies that are likely to impact the future of health and medical care.Methods: We conducted a systematic search on top ranking technology websites, according to Alexa Ranking, to identify health-related mobile-based technologies. We followed the EuroScan guide for horizon scanning, which recommends four steps: identification, filtering, prioritization, evaluation and conclusion. Technologies of interest were mHealth technologies regardless of their maturity level. The impact of technologies was assessed and scored in four areas: user, technology, safety, and cost.Results: Five hundred news articles were identified through the electronic search. After screening, 106 mHealth innovative technologies were included in this study. We categorized the included technologies into three groups: mobile apps (n=37), smart-connected devices (n=19), and wearables (n=50). mHealth technologies were most frequently developed for preventive health services, mental health services and rehabilitation services. There was no remarkable difference between the technology groups in terms of safety and adverse effects, but the groups were significantly different in terms of the target population, technology, and cost.Conclusion: An increasing number of solutions based on mobile technology is being developed by both public and private sectors but a low proportion of them undergo proper scientific evaluations. Despite the commercial availability of many innovative mobile apps, wearables, and smart connected devices, few of them have been actually used in clinics, hospitals, and health centers. There is a clear need for changes in healthcare service models to unlock the full potential of these innovative technologies.
