AB  - Wearable activity trackers (WAT) are electronic monitoring devices that enable 
      users to track and monitor their health-related physical fitness metrics 
      including steps taken, level of activity, walking distance, heart rate, and sleep 
      patterns. Despite the proliferation of these devices in various contexts of use 
      and rising research interests, there is limited understanding of the broad 
      research landscape. The purpose of this systematic review is therefore to 
      synthesize the existing wealth of research on WAT, and to provide a comprehensive 
      summary based on common themes and approaches. This article includes academic 
      work published between 2013 and 2017 in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, 
      ACM Digital Library, and Google Scholar. A final list of 463 articles was 
      analyzed for this review. Topic modeling methods were used to identify six key 
      themes (topics) of WAT research, namely: (1) Technology Focus, (2) Patient 
      Treatment and Medical Settings, (3) Behavior Change, (4) Acceptance and Adoption 
      (Abandonment), (5) Self-monitoring Data Centered, and (6) Privacy. We take an 
      interdisciplinary approach to wearable activity trackers to propose several new 
      research questions. The most important research gap we identify is to attempt to 
      understand the rich human-information interaction that is enabled by WAT 
      adoption.
