Global Trends in the Study of Smart Healthcare Systems for the Elderly: Artificial Intelligence Solutions

Abstract Smart healthcare systems have received increasing attention in recent years; however, a bibliometric analysis of the research on smart for elderly is lacking. This study aimed to identify scientific results and emerging themes related older adults. Articles reviews adults, published between 2013 2022, were obtained from Web Science Core Collection database using keyword search. Data collected included number publications per year, country/region, institution, author, journal, reference, citation frequency, keywords. Bibliometric visualization performed scientometric software VOSviewer CiteSpace, as well online platform. In total, 486 articles retrieved. The papers field adults has increased every year since 2013. China US led both total citations. King Saud University was most prolific while Deen highest had Papers mainly Sensors, IEEE Access , Applied Sciences-Basel journals. co-occurrence showed that keywords ‘smart home’ appeared frequently. top ten common system, health, home, homes, Internet Things, care, technology, healthcare, people. gather ‘artificial intelligence’. continues increase steadily. maintain leading position world, institutions such contributed significantly home current hotspot people, artificial intelligence likely be focus coming years.
