About this Research Topic
Frontiers in Digital Health is delighted to present the “Reviews in” series of article collections.
Reviews in Lifestyle and Behavior will publish high-quality scholarly review papers focusing on the opportunities and limitations of digital health to promote lifestyle and behavior change. It aims to highlight recent advances in the field whilst emphasizing important directions and new possibilities for future inquiries. We anticipate the research presented will promote discussion in the community that will translate to best practice applications in clinical, publish health and policy settings.
The Reviews in Lifestyle and Behavior collection welcomes full-length, mini or systematic review papers. New articles will be added to this collection as they are published.
Topics of particular interest include:
• Digital health interventions with health behavior outcomes including nutrition, physical activity, sedentary behavior, screen time, and/or sleep
• Digital health interventions with health and health risk factor outcomes related to obesity, diabetes, cancer, and/or cardiovascular disease
• Digital health interventions that utilize telehealth, apps, wearables, exergames, gamification, and digital or wifi-enabled activity trackers and health or behavior monitors
• Measurement of intervention fidelity and user engagement with digital health interventions that promote lifestyle and behavior change
• Implementation science studies that examine the reach, accessibility, adherence, uptake, and sustainment of digital health interventions
• Integration of digital health into pragmatic settings including but not limited to healthcare, household, school, worksite, and the community
