Objectives: This study seeks to unpack the sociotechnical discourses on the use of telehealth with a focus on privacy and security in the context of United States health services.

Large language models and generative AI in telehealth: a responsible use lens.

Objective: This scoping review aims to assess the current research landscape of the application and use of large language models (LLMs) and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), through tools such as ChatGPT in telehealth. Additionally, the review seeks to identify key areas for future research, with a particular focus on AI ethics considerations for responsible use and ensuring trustworthy AI.

Materials And Methods: Following the scoping review methodological framework, a search strategy was conducted across 6 databases.

Exploring public opinion about telehealth during COVID-19 by social media analytics.

While COVID-19 catalyzed the acceptance and use of telehealth, our understanding of how it is perceived by multi-stakeholders such as patients, clinicians, and health authorities is limited. Drawing on social media analytics, this research examines social media discourses and users' opinions about telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. It applies natural language processing and deep learning to explore word of mouth on telehealth with a contextualized focus on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data privacy concerns and use of telehealth in the aged care context: An integrative review and research agenda.

Objective: Effective use of telehealth offers substantial benefits to older persons and aged care providers. However, data privacy concerns challenge the effective use of telehealth and subsequent business value. Through developing a theoretical model, we explain how privacy concerns can influence the adoption ad use of telehealth in this complex context.

Health Data Privacy: Research Fronts, Hot Topics and Future Directions.

Health data privacy is an important research stream due to the high impacts on the success of digital health transformation and implementation. Neglecting to safeguard data confidentially and integrity and mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access will lead to failures in materializing benefit from digital health. This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of health data privacy and provide a platform for future directions.

Towards a contextual theory of Mobile Health Data Protection (MHDP): A realist perspective.

Background: With the introduction of privacy regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective data protection in mobile health (mHealth) is rapidly becoming a concern. However, we have a limited understanding of the contexts and mechanisms that affect the likelihood of failures and successes in mHealth data protection, and their subsequent impacts. In this review and theory development paper, we aim to address this critical knowledge gap.
