Ethical and quality of care-related challenges of digital health twin in older care settings– A scoping review protocol
ABSTRACT
Background:
Background:
Digital Health Twin is gripped with several documented challenges associated with ethical issues, quality of care, and design considerations in different older care settings. Since this advanced technology is gaining momentum as an emerging field, there is a need for mapping the key concepts to address questions and identify the gaps in the research knowledge.
Objective:
Objective:
This scoping review aims to compile and synthesise the best available evidence regarding the challenges of digital health twins and the strategies undertaken to overcome those challenges in older care settings in relation to older individuals, their families and relatives, and care providers.
Methods:
Methods:
The review will follow the standard JBI methodology. The published studies will be searched through CINAHL, MEDLINE, JBI, and Web of Science and the unpublished studies through Mednar, Trove, OCLC WorldCat, and Dissertations and Theses. Studies published in English from 2002 will be considered. This review will include studies of older individuals, their families and relatives and care providers involved in older care setting in relation to digital health twins. The concept will include the operation and the application of the technology, and the context will include the studies that are based in the older care setting associated with digital health twins.
Results:
Results:
The results will be presented in a PRISMA flow diagram. A draft charting table will be developed as a data extraction tool. The results will be presented as a 'map' of the data in a logical, diagrammatic, or tabular form and in a descriptive format.
Conclusions:
Conclusion: The evidence synthesis is expected to uncover the shreds of evidence requiring diligent attention to address the ethical and quality of care-related challenges associated with the application of DHT. This study will identify the strategies that have been used to overcome the identified challenges in older care settings.
