Big Data-Driven Health Portraits for Personalized Management in Noncommunicable Diseases: Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHealth portraits powered by big data integrate diverse health-related data into actionable insights, thereby facilitating precise risk prediction and personalized management of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Despite their promise, the adoption and application of health portraits remain fragmented, primarily due to the lack of a standardized conceptual and methodological framework necessary to fully harness their capabilities.
objectiveThis study aimed to systematically map and categorize existing research on health portraits in the context of NCD management, evaluate how big data has been used through the lens of the 3V (volume, velocity, and variety) framework, assess the extent of external validation and comprehensiveness, and identify challenges, emerging opportunities, and future research directions in this field.
methodsA scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines and 6-step framework of Levac et al. A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Ovid, Scopus, Web of Science, and Springer Link, focusing on observational and interventional studies using big data, public databases, electronic health record systems, wearables, and sensors for NCD management from January 2014 to July 2024. Data extraction included study characteristics, modeling approaches, and external validation. Analytical synthesis was conducted using keyword analysis, the 3V framework, and visual tools such as scatter plots, heat maps, and radar charts.
resultsA total of 8707 records were identified, and 89 studies were included for full-text analysis. These studies were categorized into 4 types of health portraits: diagnostic, prognostic, monitoring, and recommender. Evaluation based on the 3V framework showed that only 17.78% of studies met all 3 criteria. In terms of volume, structured data were widely used (64.29%-100% depending on portrait type), while unstructured data usage varied significantly (19.05%-93.33%). Regarding velocity, monitoring and recommender portraits showed high reliance on digital interactive data (over 85%). For variety, only 31.11% of studies incorporated all 3 data attributes (natural, domain, and specific attributes). In terms of comprehensiveness, only 30% of studies reported the external validation, and only 10% met both the external validation and 3V criteria, with recommender portraits outperforming the other types.
conclusionsThis study provides a standardized lens through which to evaluate the development and application of health portraits in NCD management. The findings underscore the need for more robust data integration strategies and emphasize the importance of artificial intelligence-enabled approaches. Furthermore, enhancing external validation and addressing ethical and privacy considerations are critical for advancing the implementation of personalized health management solutions.
