Popis: Background: Cerebrovascular disease is a life-threatening neurological event and a leading cause of long-term disability and death worldwide. Early detection of characteristic behavioral and physiological changes associated with cerebrovascular disease is critical to improving patient outcomes and quality of life measures. The growing prevalence of remote monitoring tools, from wearable devices to smartphone applications, that facilitate in situ observation of patients and the environments of daily life holds promise for more timely recognition and possible prevention of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) like stroke. Objective: The goal of this scoping review is to examine and establish categories of innovation with digital sensors that monitor physiological and behavioral variables in situ to augment the current screening and diagnostic processes for patients with cerebrovascular disease. Methods: Guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist, a robust search strategy for spanning multiple databases from 2012 to September 30, 2022, excluding review articles, articles including interventions, and articles not published in English, was implemented. Among the databases searched were Web of Science; Scopus; Ovid Embase; Ovid Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; and Ovid MEDLINE and Epub ahead of print, in-process and other nonindexed citations, and daily. Results: This search strategy aggregated 689 articles, of which 101 (14.7%) articles met the inclusion criteria for this scoping review. Articles were divided into two categories based on their focus: physiological and behavioral. Articles with a physiological focus were sorted into one of nine subcategories according to the signal(s) monitored: motor function, heart rhythm, heart rate, kinematic analysis, physical activity, blood pressure, sensory deficit, electrodermal activity, and intracranial pressure. Articles focusing on behavioral variables were sorted into two subcategories: mood and fatigue. Most studies used an ECG-enabled smartwatch, like an Apple Watch 3, or passive smartphone sensors. Conclusions: This scoping review identified disparate methods and conclusions associated with the use of digital sensors for in situ physiological and behavioral monitoring of cerebrovascular disease patients. While most articles evaluated pilot validation and feasibility trials, the lack of randomized controlled trials is a critical literature gap specific to this evolving research area.
