Wellness Sector Transformation: A Systematic Review of Trends, Challenges, and Future Research Directions
这篇系统综述整合了122项研究，将健康产业分为五个主题领域，指出研究碎片化、商业化缺乏科学验证、技术隐私风险及获取不平等是主要挑战，并强调数字技术和城市规划的作用。
ABSTRACT The global wellness sector has expanded into a $6.3 trillion industry, encompassing corporate wellness, digital health innovations, wellness tourism, public health policy, and functional medicine. This systematic literature review synthesizes findings from 122 studies, categorizing research into five thematic domains: workplace wellness, wellness tourism, digital health, holistic and functional medicine, and societal wellness. Key challenges identified include the fragmentation of wellness research, commercialization without scientific validation, technological privacy risks, and persistent inequities in access. The study highlights the critical role of digital technologies, AI‐driven wellness tools, and urban planning in shaping future wellness practices. It calls for more rigorous empirical validation, stronger policy frameworks promoting equitable access, and ethical integration of digital solutions. By providing a structured synthesis and identifying future research priorities, this review contributes a comprehensive, interdisciplinary roadmap for advancing evidence‐based, inclusive, and sustainable wellness practices across industries and societies.
