Defining the Scope of Digital Public Health and its Implications for Practice and Research – A Scoping Review Alice X.T. Xu

TEAM: Alice X.T. Xu, Ihoghosa Iyamu, Oralia Gómez-Ramírez, Hsiu-Ju Chang, Mark Gilbert Despite the rapid development and implementation of digital health interventions in the last two decades, the scope and applications of digital technologies in public health is not well delineated. We conducted a scoping review aimed to determine how the scope of digital public health is described by public health researchers and practitioners within published and grey literature. A total of 211 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. Findings from this review on the intersection between public health domains and digital health technologies will inform the development of a conceptual framework of digital public health to inform future practice and research direction in the field.
