Abstract

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) is an emerging mobile communication and networking technology for health care systems. The integration of mHealth in medical education is growing extremely rapidly, bringing new changes to the field. However, no study has analyzed the publication and research trends occurring in both mHealth and medical education.

Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the current application and development trends of mHealth in medical education by searching and analyzing published articles related to both mHealth and medical education.

Methods: The literature related to mHealth and medical education published from 2003 to 2023 was searched in the Web of Science core database, and 790 articles were screened according to the search strategy. The HistCite Pro 2.0 tool was used to analyze bibliometric indicators. VOSviewer, Pajek64, and SCImago Graphica software were used to visualize research trends and identify hot spots in the field.

Results: In the past two decades, the number of published papers on mHealth in medical education has gradually increased, from only 3 papers in 2003 to 130 in 2022; this increase became particularly evident in 2007. The global citation score was determined to be 10,600, with an average of 13.42 citations per article. The local citation score was 96. The United States is the country with the most widespread application of mHealth in medical education, and most of the institutions conducting in-depth research in this field are also located in the United States, closely followed by China and the United Kingdom. Based on current trends, global coauthorship and research exchange will likely continue to expand. Among the research journals publishing in this joint field, journals published by JMIR Publications have an absolute advantage. A total of 105 keywords were identified, which were divided into five categories pointing to different research directions.

Conclusions: Under the influence of COVID-19, along with the popularization of smartphones and modern communication technology, the field of combining mHealth and medical education has become a more popular research direction. The concept and application of digital health will be promoted in future developments of medical education.

移动医疗和医学教育研究的全球趋势:文献计量学和知识图谱分析。
背景:移动医疗(mHealth)是一种新兴的医疗保健系统移动通信和网络技术。移动医疗与医学教育的结合发展极为迅速,给这一领域带来了新的变化。然而,还没有研究分析过移动医疗和医学教育的出版和研究趋势:本研究旨在通过检索和分析已发表的移动医疗和医学教育相关文章,总结当前移动医疗在医学教育中的应用和发展趋势:在Web of Science核心数据库中检索2003年至2023年发表的移动医疗和医学教育相关文献,根据检索策略筛选出790篇文章。使用HistCite Pro 2.0工具分析文献计量指标。使用 VOSviewer、Pajek64 和 SCImago Graphica 软件对研究趋势进行可视化,并确定该领域的热点:在过去二十年中,医学教育中移动医疗的论文数量逐渐增加,从 2003 年的 3 篇增加到 2022 年的 130 篇;2007 年的增加尤为明显。全球论文被引用次数为 10,600 次,平均每篇论文被引用 13.42 次。本地引用率为 96。美国是移动医疗在医学教育中应用最广泛的国家,在这一领域进行深入研究的大多数机构也位于美国,紧随其后的是中国和英国。根据目前的趋势,全球合著和研究交流可能会继续扩大。在该联合领域的研究期刊中,JMIR 出版社出版的期刊具有绝对优势。共识别出 105 个关键词,并将其分为五类,分别指向不同的研究方向:在 COVID-19 的影响下,随着智能手机和现代通讯技术的普及,移动医疗与医学教育相结合的领域已成为一个较为热门的研究方向。数字健康的概念和应用将在未来医学教育的发展中得到推广。
