To recommend strategies to improve discoverability of consumer health
informatics (CHI) literature, we aimed to characterize controlled
vocabulary and author terminology applied to a subset of CHI literature on
wearable technologies. A descriptive analysis of articles (N=2,522) from
2019 identified 308 (12.2%) CHI-related articles for which the citations
with PubMed identifiers for the included and excluded studies are
provided. The 308 articles were published in 181 journals which we
classified by type of journal—health, informatics, technology and other—as
shown in the third file. We provide an aggregated file of the
author-assigned keywords as they appeared in the PubMed records of the
included studies along with our decision about whether they represented
consumer engagement. We also included an aggregated file of the Medical
Subject Headings assigned to the included studies. The top 100 terms and
their frequency scores for the title and abstracts are also included. We
did not include any of the terminology from CINAHL, and Engineering
Databases (Compendex and Inspec together) due to copyright concerns.
