Systematic Review

Overview: 
Systematic review of HSH and HCH literature from indexed repositories for health care and technology disciplines (e.g., MEDLINE, CINAHL, and IEEE Xplore) and classified included studies according to an evidence-based public health (EBPH) typology.

Objectives: 
The search methodology was developed and refined by three researchers (BR, GD, HT) who conduct HSH/HCH and health informatics research. The search methodology included searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SciVerse ScienceDirect, the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore databases to provide comprehensive coverage of indexed literature from many disciplines. As the term ?smart home? is not well-defined, our search terms also include ?e-health?, ?health monitoring?, ?telemedicine?, ?telehealth?,

Initiatives: 
One thousand, six hundred and thirty-nine candidate articles were identified. Thirty-one studies from the years 1998?2011 were included. Twenty-one included studies were classified as emerging, 10 as promising and 3 as effective (first tier).
