Digital Health Behavior Change Technology: Bibliometric and Scoping Review of Two Decades of Research.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Research on digital technology to change health behavior has increased enormously in recent decades. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, knowledge and technologies from different research areas are required. Up to now, it is not clear how the knowledge from those fields is combined in actual applications. A comprehensive analysis that systematically maps and explores the use of knowledge within this emerging interdisciplinary field is required. OBJECTIVE:This study aims to provide an overview of the research area around the design and development of digital technologies for health behavior change and to explore trends and patterns. METHODS:A bibliometric analysis is used to provide an overview of the field, and a scoping review is presented to identify the trends
