A Systematic Review of the Adoption of eHealth Cloud-based Technology Applications during COVID-19

Abstract

Electronic health technology applications are important tools that are utilized to provide health care services. These applications allow healthcare professionals and patients to share, manage and have control over their health information electronically whilst maintaining social distancing. Under hard conditions brought by the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19), eHealth tools can be used to assist with the provision of healthcare services. However, the adoption of these technology applications by users is still questionable. This study presents a systematic literature review of 31 articles that were published on the adoption of eHealth cloud-based technology applications during COVID-19. A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA protocol by searching the Scopus databases. The search was conducted for the year 2020 to 2021 since COVID-19 is still new in the research field. From 31 articles that were selected, it was found that most countries are still left behind on this topic. It was only a few researchers in each country who tried to contribute or put effort into the topic. Furthermore, it was indicated that Italy contributed the highest with 5 authors to this topic. Thus, more research still needs to be conducted on this topic. One of the limitations of this study was that, the data was gathered from the Scopus database only. Researchers suggest that for future research, other additional sources need to be searched to find out more about the adoption of eHealth cloud-based technology applications during COVID-19.

Test Case Prioritization for Software Product Line: A Systematic Mapping Study

“…Systematic literature reviews aim to comprehensively synthesize existing research on a specific topic, focusing on the analysis and interpretation of primary studies. Numerous systematic literature reviews have been applied, such as the SLR profiling method described by Adwan and Alsaeed [3], the adoption of the PRISMA framework as highlighted by Malatji et al [4], and the systematic review proposed by Lee et al [5].…”

Smart Machine Learning-based IoT Health and Cough Monitoring System

“…Healthcare services have increased over the past few years and placed a high burden on either having doctors always be close to their patients during the diagnosis process or the patients having to remain in hospitals during the health monitoring process [8]. The increase in demand for health monitoring has encouraged the development of the healthcare field by making the most of IoT and wireless technology and integrating it with the internet to allow a continuous monitoring system for the patient [9]- [12]. This is important, especially since the high demand for hospitalization has made it difficult for patient screening to be done in a 24-hour manner [13].…”
