Abstract

As an innovation, Blockchain has transformed numerous industries and sparked the interest of the research community due to its abundance of benefits, opening up diverse research routes in the healthcare sector in the last decade. With Health 4.0 becoming ubiquitous in the healthcare industry, end-user transactions are being carried out on a decentralized network, making Blockchain profitable to meet the demands of the modern healthcare sector. Therefore, a detailed analysis of Blockchain is very crucial. This study emphasizes the evolution of science and the preliminary research of Blockchain in healthcare through bibliometric analysis. All the data are extracted from the Scopus database, and the VOSviewer tool is used for analysis. A total of 1152 Scopus articles published between 2018 and 2022 are examined. Results reveal that in 2022, the field of Blockchain experienced a notable increment in the number of publications and a significant growth rate. IEEE Access became well known in this field and had a large number of citations. It is observed that China and India are the leading countries in terms of publications on Blockchain. This study offers a number of recommendations that amateur and professional researchers can use as a benchmark before commencing a Blockchain investigation in the future.

区块链在医疗保健领域的文献计量分析

作为一项创新，区块链改变了许多行业，并因其丰富的优势引发了研究界的兴趣，在过去十年中为医疗保健领域开辟了多样化的研究路线。随着健康 4.0 在医疗保健行业无处不在，终端用户的交易在去中心化的网络上进行，区块链在满足现代医疗保健行业的需求方面有利可图。因此，对区块链进行详细分析至关重要。本研究强调科学的发展，并通过文献计量分析对区块链在医疗保健领域的应用进行初步研究。所有数据均从 Scopus 数据库中提取，并使用 VOSviewer 工具进行分析。共研究了2018年至2022年间发表的1152篇Scopus文章。结果显示，2022 年，区块链领域的论文数量明显增加，增长率显著。IEEE Access 成为该领域的知名期刊，并有大量引用。据观察，中国和印度在区块链出版物方面处于领先地位。本研究提出了一些建议，业余和专业研究人员在未来开始区块链调查之前可以将其作为基准。
