Digital health is a rapidly developing field which is positioned to transform the manner in which healthcare is delivered, especially amongst adolescents and young adults. In order to assess the efficacy of novel medical devices, clinicians and researchers often turn to the literature for guidance. Randomized control trials and the systematic reviews and meta-analyses that they inform are considered to be at the top of the evidence hierarchy. While they are excellent tools to identify and to summarize the best available evidence to answer a specific research question, they are poorly equipped to provide a more expansive understanding of the body of relevant literature in a timely manner. In this letter we discuss the utility of the scoping review, an underutilized style of academic writing designed to map key concepts in a body of literature. This method is ideal when reporting on the fast-paced field of digital medicine, as it allows for rapid synthesis of the available literature.
