远程医疗在老年人健康管理领域应用研究的可视化分析

Visualization and Analysis of Research on the Application of Telemedicine in the Field of Health Management for the Elderly

摘要: 目的：基于CiteSpace对国内外远程医疗在老年人健康管理领域应用的研究热点与前沿进行可视化分析，为拓宽我国远程医疗在老年人健康管理中的应用范围，提升应用质量，提供新的研究方向和视角。方法：以中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普期刊三大中文数据库和Web of Science中2007~2023年远程医疗和老年人健康管理相关文献作为数据来源，应用CiteSpace 6.2.R7软件从研究机构及作者的合作关系、高频关键词等角度对该领域的研究进行可视化分析。结果：共筛选出中文文献137篇，发文量呈现出缓慢波动上升趋势。共筛选出英文文献399篇，发文量呈现快速上升趋势。国外研究机构和作者之间联系较为紧密，研究热点主要集中在日常管理、老年人照护和健康管理等。由关键词突现图可知，国外研究前沿和趋势为血糖控制和随机对照试验。相较于国外，国内的研究机构和作者之间合作较少，研究热点主要集中在物联网、健康管理和软件设计等。结论：关于我国远程医疗、老年人慢性病管理和照护等研究领域应当给予更多的关注。并且国内有必要从多角度出发，打破学术壁垒，进行多学科的合作创新，从而提高远程医疗在老年人健康管理中的作用。

Abstract: Objective: Based on CiteSpace, we visualize and analyze the research hotspots and frontiers of domestic and foreign telemedicine applications in the field of health management of the elderly, to broaden the scope of the application of China’s telemedicine in the health management of the elderly and to improve the quality of the application, and to provide new research directions and perspectives. Method: Taking the literature related to telemedicine and health management of the elderly in the three major Chinese databases of CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Weipu Journals and Web of Science from 2007~2023 as the data source, we applied CiteSpace 6.2.R7 software to visualize and analyze the research in this field from the perspectives of the research institutions’ and authors’ partnerships, high-frequency keywords, etc. Results: A total of 137 articles in Chinese were screened, and the number of articles showed a slow fluctuating upward trend. A total of 399 articles in English were screened, and the number of articles issued showed a rapid rising trend. Foreign research institutions and authors are more closely connected with each other, and the research hotspots mainly focus on daily management, elderly care and health management. From the keyword emergence chart, it can be seen that the foreign research frontiers and trends are glycemic control and randomized controlled trials. Compared with foreign countries, there is less cooperation between research institutions and authors in China, and the research hotspots mainly focus on Internet of Things, health management and software design. Conclusion: More attention should be paid to the research areas of telemedicine, chronic disease management and care for the elderly in China. And it is necessary to break down academic barriers from multiple perspectives and conduct multidisciplinary cooperation and innovation in China, so as to improve the role of telemedicine in the health management of the elderly.
