Context-Aware Systems for Chronic Disease Patients: Scoping Review (Preprint)

“…One study was conducted in Canada [12], 2 were in the US [13,14], and 2 in Europe [15,16]. Most articles were published after 2010, except one [17].…”

“…Most articles were published after 2010, except one [17]. The health domains covered in the studies included asthma [13], cardiovascular disease [16], kidney disease [12], Parkinson's disease [17], diabetes [15], and mental health [14]. All included studies used quasi-experimental study designs to pilot test different context-aware systems.…”

“…Two studies focused on indoor settings [13,17] and 4 studies involved both indoor and outdoor settings [12,[14][15][16].…”

“…Context was captured using sensors [12][13][14]16,17] and self-reports [12][13][14][15]. One particular study used ecological momentary assessment to capture self-reported data on social context, activity, and internal states (i.e.…”

“…mood) [14]. Sensors captured data on location, ambient light [14], air quality [13], room temperature [16], and physiological measures [blood pressure (BP), heartrate, skin temperature, cardiac function, exhaled nitric-oxide] [12,13,16]. Acceleration sensors were used to track movement and physical activity [16,17].…”
