A systematic scoping review of digital health technologies during COVID-19: a new normal in primary health care delivery
AbstractThis scoping review compiled information concerning digital health technologies (DHTs) evolution to support primary health care (PHC) during COVID-19 and lessons for the future of PHC. The identified literature was published during the COVID-19 peak years (2019 –2021), retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as hand searched on the internet. Predefined inclusion criteria were used, thematic analysis was applied, and reporting followed the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews.A total of 46 studies were included in the final synthesis (40 articles, one book, two book chapters, one working paper, and two te...
