“…The services brought by mobile devices, such as the different means of communications and user applications, have enabled a host of possibilities. Thus, mobile applications' industry have been in race, including those for promoting healthcare of older patients [44,142]. Specifically, many mobile and tablet based applications have been developed for medication adherence in the form of automated reminder systems [143][144][145].…”

Medication non-adherence is a prevalent, complex problem. Failure to follow medication schedules may lead to major health complications, including death. Proper medication adherence is thus required in order to gain the greatest possible drug benefit during a patient's treatment. Interventions have been proven to improve medication adherence if deviations are detected. This review focuses on recent advances in the field of technology-based medication adherence approaches and pays particular attention to their technical monitoring aspects. The taxonomy space of this review spans multiple techniques including sensor systems, proximity sensing, vision systems, and combinations of these. As each technique has unique advantages and limitations, this work describes their trade-offs in accuracy, energy consumption, acceptability and user's comfort, and user authentication.

“…For example, the European Commission (2018) recently stated that digital technologies are necessary to address challenges such as a growing and ageing population, health workforce shortages, and the rising burden of preventable non-communicable diseases. Many of the articles in our review echo similar points, with a significant number of contributions focusing on how assistive technologies could support the independence of elderly individuals in their own home and support the challenges of residents in care homes (Asghar et al 2015;Bennett et al 2017;Bryant et al 2017;Dasgupta et al 2016;Devillier 2017;Mahoney et al 2007;Margot-Cattin and Nygård 2009;Misselhorn et al 2013;Mulvenna et al 2013;Palm 2013;Reis et al 2016;Sharkey and Sharkey 2012;Silva et al 2015).…”

“…Digital technologies will continue to shape the development of medical research and practice in the near future. For instance, innovations in eHealth technologies enable new streams of data that can enhance a patient's capabilities or help mitigate problems such as medication non-adherence (Dasgupta et al 2016;Toboso 2011). In addition, machine learning (ML) technologies are offering more reliable and efficient ways to diagnose illnesses such as Alzheimer's (Ding et al 2018), and developments in virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) technology and braincomputer interfaces are providing new research avenues for physical rehabilitation (Folgieri and Lucchiari 2017), while also offering novel treatment methods in cognitive behavioural therapy (Pot-Kolder et al 2018).…”

The Ethics of Digital Well-Being: A Thematic Review

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article presents the first thematic review of the literature on the ethical issues concerning digital well-being. The term ‘digital well-being’ is used to refer to the impact of digital technologies on what it means to live a life that is good for a human being. The review explores the existing literature on the ethics of digital well-being, with the goal of mapping the current debate and identifying open questions for future research. The review identifies major issues related to several key social domains: healthcare, education, governance and social development, and media and entertainment. It also highlights three broader themes: positive computing, personalised human–computer interaction, and autonomy and self-determination. The review argues that three themes will be central to ongoing discussions and research by showing how they can be used to identify open questions related to the ethics of digital well-being.
