*4.2. Strengths and Limitations*

One of the strengths of this study is a comprehensive search strategy in three large databases containing large amounts of healthcare and technology-related publications. The search was carefully documented. The search queries were tested and adjusted to retrieve

more relevant results. MeSH terms were used to broaden the search. Many studies were retrieved from the databases, and an additional search for the grey literature was performed. Various types of publications and different study types were included in the review to ensure broad coverage of the topic. All the citations were managed using Mendeley's reference system to ensure orderly documentation.

This scoping review is not without limitations. Firstly, filtering the search results by the language (including only English papers) may have prevented getting more results and potentially missed data that could have been included in this study. Secondly, a limited time frame may have affected the quality and quantity of the findings. Additionally, lack of critical appraisal is one of the disadvantages of the scoping review type of studies and therefore poses a risk of bias [74]. The search terms and search queries were discussed in detail. The search queries were adjusted, and new search words were added several times. However, the screening and the selection of studies were performed by the first author, increasing the risk that some studies were missed [75].
