The Analysis of Research Hotspots of Wearable Devices in the Field of Health in China Based on CiteSpace Software
Objective To study the research hotspots of wearable devices in the field of health in China based on CiteSpace software,and conduct visual analysis.Methods With a systematic search of relevant literature on wearable devices in the health field in China from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database and the Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform database,the retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to May 31,2024.Visual analysis was conducted on the research hotspots of wearable devices in the health field in China,using CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software.Results With a total of 1 518 articles from 2007 to 2024 included,the number of publications was increasing since 2014 with an upward trend.Among them,2023 had the highest number of publications.The top ten institutions in terms of publication volume were all universities,but the centrality index was all 0.The top four keyword frequency rankings were health monitoring(110 times),wearable(104 times),health management(85 times),and mobile healthcare(67 times).The cluster map included thirteen keyword clusters,including nursing,wearable,user experience,and smart clothing,with the S value of each cluster greater than 0.9.Conclusion The research on wearable devices in the field of health in China has become a hot topic in academic research,showing a trend of diversification and cross integration,with core research hotspots showing clustering;In the future,it is urgent to strengthen the in-depth cooperation across institutions and disciplines.
