Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • The number of publications on eHealth interventions has significantly increased.
  • A lack of recent consensus on the definition of eHealth is evident, with the last journal article on the topic published in 2006.
  • The rapid evolution of the eHealth landscape necessitates a re-evaluation of its definition and scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the need for a revised definition and taxonomy of eHealth.
  • To gather community input on the evolving definition of eHealth.
  • To determine the necessity of a systematic literature review for a new eHealth definition.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-question survey distributed to JMIR readers to collect opinions on eHealth definition.
  • Community engagement strategy, similar to the successful "CONSORT-eHealth" initiative.
  • Decision to conduct a systematic review based on survey response analysis.

Main Results:

  • The study is currently soliciting expert opinions via a survey.
  • Results will guide the decision on whether to proceed with a systematic review.
  • Community participation is crucial for refining the eHealth definition.

Conclusions:

  • A consensus on the definition of eHealth may be lacking due to its rapid advancement.
  • Community input is vital for establishing a contemporary and accurate definition of eHealth.
  • Further research, potentially a systematic review, is being considered to clarify the eHealth field.
