[Metadata] List of Challenges and Recommendations in Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) Applied to Electronic Healthcare Devices

Structured list of the methodological challenges and recommendations identified in a critical review of 17 environmental impact evaluation studies (10 applying LCA) of electronic healthcare devices (EHDs), published between 2013 and April 2023 and retrieved from PubMed, Scopus and Embase. Eight challenges and sevenrecommendations are organised by LCA phase (functional unit, system boundary, life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment, interpretation). Each entry gives its identifier, type, title as stated in the source article, a summary, key references, the section and page in the source, and the linked challenge or recommendation.Source: Muindi et al.
