Context-Aware Medical Systems within Healthcare Environments: A Systematic Scoping Review to Identify Subdomains and Significant Medical Contexts.

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
