Self-monitoring is a strategy that patients use to manage their chronic disease and chronic disease risk factors. Technological advances such as mobile apps, web-based tracking programs, sensing devices, wearable technologies, and insideable devices enable IT-based self-monitoring (ITSM) for chronic disease management. Since ITSM is multidisciplinary in nature and our understanding is fragmented, a systematic examination of the literature is performed to build a holistic understanding of the phenomenon. We review 159 studies published in 108 journals and conferences between 2006 and 2017. By adapting affordance actualization theory, we develop an overarching framework to organize the existing literature on ITSM for chronic disease management. Four themes emerge: key ITSM functionalities that enable affordances; effects on ITSM system use; effects on the achievement of chronic care goals; and the role of intermediary outcomes. For each theme, we identify what is known, what is unknown, and opportunities for future research. We also discuss cross-theme opportunities for future research where more diverse theoretical perspectives can contribute to our understanding of the phenomenon. This work provides research directions for IS researchers studying ITSM for chronic disease self-management.

基于IT的慢性病自我管理自我监控：跨学科评价

自我监测是患者用来管理其慢性疾病和慢性疾病危险因素的策略。移动应用程序，基于Web的跟踪程序，传感设备，可穿戴技术和可内置设备等技术进步使基于IT的自我监控（ITSM）得以用于慢性病管理。由于ITSM本质上是多学科的，并且我们的理解是零散的，因此需要对文献进行系统的检查，以建立对该现象的整体理解。我们审查了2006年至2017年间在108个期刊和会议上发表的159篇研究。通过采用可负担性实现理论，我们建立了一个总体框架来组织有关ITSM用于慢性病管理的现有文献。出现了四个主题：支持收费的关键ITSM功能；以及 对ITSM系统使用的影响；对实现慢性护理目标的影响；以及中介结果的作用。对于每个主题，我们确定已知的，未知的以及将来的研究机会。我们还将讨论未来研究的跨主题机会，其中更多的理论观点可以有助于我们对现象的理解。这项工作为IS研究人员研究ITSM进行慢性疾病自我管理提供了研究方向。
