Current methods for analyzing time-series patient-generated health data to assess treatment response: a scoping review

Key Points

• The review aims to assess current methods for analyzing patient-generated health data over time and their effectiveness in evaluating treatment responses.
• Conducted a scoping review of studies analyzing time-series patient-generated health data.
• Evaluated the use of various analytic methods in treatment response assessment.
• Focused on the longitudinal nature of electronic patient-generated health data (ePGHD).
• Many existing studies underutilize the high-frequency characteristics of ePGHD.
• Recommended analytic methods are not always adopted, limiting the insights from the data.
• Future research directions include improving methodologies to enhance treatment response analysis.
