eHealth Apps Replacing or Complementing Health Care Contacts: Scoping Review on Adverse Effects
Conclusions: There is a lack of high-quality empirical research on adverse effects of eHealth apps that replace or complement face-to-face care. While the development of eHealth apps is ongoing, the knowledge with regard to possible adverse effects is limited. The available research often focuses on efficacy, added value, implementation issues, use, and satisfaction, whereas adverse effects are underexplored. A better understanding of possible adverse effects could be a starting point in improving the positive impact of eHealth-based health care delivery.
