Digital health technologies have the potential to alleviate the increasing cancer burden. Incorporating patients’ perspectives on digital health tools has been identified as a critical determinant for their successful uptake in cancer care. The main objective of this scoping review was to provide an overview of the existing evidence on cancer patients’ perspectives and requirements for patient-facing digital health technologies. Three databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, Science Direct) were searched and 128 studies were identified as eligible for inclusion. Web-based software/platforms, mobile or smartphone devices/applications, and remote sensing/wearable technologies employed for the delivery of interventions and patient monitoring were the most frequently employed technologies in cancer care. The abilities of digital tools to enable care management, user-friendliness, and facilitate patient–clinician interactions were the technological requirements predominantly considered as important by cancer patients. The findings from this review provide evidence that could inform future research on technology-associated parameters influencing cancer patients’ decisions regarding the uptake and adoption of patient-facing digital health technologies.
数字健康技术有望缓解日益增长的癌症负担。整合患者对数字健康工具的看法已被确定为癌症护理中成功采纳这些工具的关键决定因素。本次范围综述的主要目的是概述癌症患者对面向患者的数字健康技术的看法和需求的现有证据。通过检索三个数据库（CINAHL、MEDLINE、Science Direct），共确定128项符合纳入标准的研究。在癌症护理中最常使用的技术包括基于网络的软件/平台、移动或智能手机设备/应用程序，以及用于提供干预和患者监测的远程传感/可穿戴技术。数字工具实现护理管理的能力、用户友好性以及促进患者与临床医生互动的能力，是癌症患者主要认为重要的技术要求。本综述的结果提供了证据，可为未来研究影响癌症患者采纳面向患者的数字健康技术决策的技术相关参数提供参考。
