摘要

The market for digital health monitoring is expanding rapidly, with technologies that track health information and provide access to medical data promising benefits for users, particularly in areas with limited healthcare resources. To understand user attitudes toward these technologies, we conducted a systematic review of literature with primary data about patient and public perspectives. We synthesized 562 studies (2000–2023) from PubMed, Embase, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, and Scopus, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research. We revealed a significant geographic bias, with most research concentrated in few countries, and identified access gaps in both Global South and Global North. While users generally showed positive attitudes toward health monitoring technologies, they expressed various concerns. We provide suggestions for future research to enhance the socially responsible integration of technology in healthcare. One important limitation of our approach is using English-language search terms. This potentially excluded relevant studies from underrepresented countries.
