Abstract

Smart components highly integrated and miniaturized facilitate the development of wearable devices to support home monitoring of patients with chronic diseases and that should be interoperable with existing electronic health records. Objective: This study aimed to systematize current evidence of how interoperability is considered during the development of new applications to gather patients’ information in their home environments. Methods: A systematic review was performed based on a search of the literature. Results: A total of 37 articles were retrieved from the 4141 articles that result from the initial search. Conclusion: From the 4141 initial references only 81 references explicitly mentioned interoperability issues and, within these 81 references, only eight reported end-to-end solutions that can be integrated and usable in care service provision.
