Hypothesis
What are the characteristics of respiratory digital health that have been implemented in routine clinical practice in the last 10 years?
Conclusion
This scoping review will summarize and identify the scope of digital respiratory innovations and the frameworks they use to support successful implementation in routine care.
Supporting Evidence
- Chronic respiratory diseases affect over 545 million people globally.
- Digital health tools can improve monitoring and management of respiratory conditions.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the implementation of digital health technologies.
Takeaway
This study is about figuring out how to use digital tools to help people with breathing problems in their everyday healthcare.
Methodology
The review follows Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and includes stakeholder consultations to ground the work in routine practice.
Potential Biases
Potential bias due to the exclusion of non-peer-reviewed studies and reliance on published literature.
Limitations
The review may miss relevant publications due to poor indexing of implementation research and the decision to exclude grey literature.
Participant Demographics
The study will include diverse populations with respiratory conditions from various countries.
