Context-Aware Medical Systems within Healthcare Environments: A Systematic Scoping Review to Identify Subdomains and Significant Medical Contexts.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Context awareness is a field in pervasive computing, which has begun to impact medical systems via an increasing number of healthcare applications that are starting to use context awareness. The present work seeks to determine which contexts are important for medical applications and which domains of context-aware applications exist in healthcare. A systematic scoping review of context-aware medical systems currently used by patients or healthcare providers (inclusion criteria) was conducted between April 2021 and June 2023. A search strategy was designed and applied to Pub Med, EBSCO, IEEE Explore, Wiley, Science Direct, Springer Link, and ACM, articles from the databases were then filtered based on their abstract, and relevant articles were screened using a questionnaire applied to their full texts prior to data extraction. Applications were grouped into context-aware healthcare application domains based on past reviews and screening results. A total of 25 articles passed all screening levels and underwent data extraction. The most common contexts used were user location (8 out of 25 studies), demographic information (6 out of 25 studies), movement status/activity level (7 out of 25 studies), time of day (5 out of 25 studies), phone usage patterns (5 out of 25 studies), lab/vitals (7 out of 25 studies), and patient history data (8 out of 23 studies). Through a systematic review process, the current study determined the key contexts within context-aware healthcare applications that have reached healthcare providers and patients. The present work has illuminated many of the early successful context-aware healthcare applications. Additionally, the primary contexts leveraged by these systems have been identified, allowing future systems to focus on prioritizing the integration of these key contexts.
