越来越多的基于技术的工具可供患者和消费者使用，这些工具声称有助于改善健康。这些消费者健康信息学工具的有效性以前没有得到系统的审查。因此，对消费者健康信息学工具的有效性进行了系统的证据审查。这项审查还寻求证据表明未来这些工具的广泛使用是否存在任何障碍，以及这些工具对医疗保健成本的经济影响的证据。这篇综述的结果表明，虽然还需要做更多的工作，但现有的文献确实表明，消费者健康信息学工具对选定的健康状况和结果具有积极影响。在广泛使用这些工具之前，仍有许多障碍必须克服。关于消费者健康信息学工具对医疗成本的经济影响，数据不足。
An increasing array of technology based tools are available for patient and consumer utilization which claim to facilitate health improvement. The efficacy of these Consumer Health Informatics tools has not previously been systematically reviewed. As such a systematic evidence review of the efficacy of consumer health informatics tools was conducted. This review also sought evidence of any barriers to future widespread utilization of these tools and evidence of economic impact of these tools on health care costs. The findings of this review indicate that while more work needs to be done, the available literature does suggest a positive impact of consumer health informatics tools on select health conditions and outcomes. Many barriers remain that must be overcome prior to widespread utilization of these tools. There was insufficient data regarding economic impact of consumer health informatics tools on healthcare costs.
