The dataset shows that there is a gradual increase in publication of research articles on digital health and mobile health till 2016 before a sudden rise in number of publications from 2017 onwards. This paper contributes by providing a consolidation of fragmented literature in the research domain giving us information on significant sources, authors and documents. The analysis of conceptual structure reveals that the topics of study have evolved from mobile health to digital health, e-health, technology acceptance model, privacy, implementation and self-management.
