Abstract

Objectives

Somatosensory Interaction Technology (SIT) is used in various aspects of geriatric care. We aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize relevant publications and visualize publication characteristics, current hotspots, and development trends, thereby inspiring subsequent researches.

Methods

We searched the Web of Science Core Collection database for publications on the application of SIT in geriatric care. Bibliometric visualization and clustering analysis were performed using VOSviewer V1.6.18 Software, while keywords burst detection analysis was conducted with CiteSpace 6.1.R6 Software.

Results

After screening, a total of 1,019 publications were included. The number of publications on SIT in geriatric care is gradually increasing, exhibiting a rapid growth rate. The United States, Canada, and Australia led in terms of publication volume. Keyword clustering analysis identified major research hotspots: crisis warning, somatic abilities, rehabilitation training and psychosocial support. Initial studies primarily explored themes such as recovery, movement, systems, and later shifted towards gait analysis, muscle strength, parameters, and home-based care. More recently, research themes have evolved to dementia, machine learning, and gamification.

Conclusions

SIT is innovative for promoting active aging, advancing intelligent healthcare, and elevating the daily quality of life for older adults in clinical and domestic settings. Applications of SIT can be categorized into early warning systems for crises, detailed analyses of physical conditions, rehabilitation enhancement, and support for psychosocial health. Research trends have transitioned from whole-body recognition to precise feedback, from a focus on physical health to mental health, and from technical feasibility to user-friendliness. Future research should focus on developing accessible and user-friendly devices, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations for innovation, expanding research to address both the physical and mental health needs of diverse older adults, and integrating emerging technologies to enhance data precision and accelerate the development of intelligent platforms.

体感相互作用技术在老年护理中的应用进展：文献计量学分析

目的体感相互作用技术（SIT）应用于老年护理的各个方面。我们的目的是通过文献计量分析，总结相关文献，可视化文献特征、当前热点和发展趋势，从而启发后续研究。方法检索Web of Science Core Collection数据库中有关SIT在老年护理中的应用的出版物。使用VOSviewer V1.6.18软件进行文献计量可视化和聚类分析，使用CiteSpace 6.1软件进行关键词突发检测分析。R6软件。结果经筛选，共纳入文献1019篇。关于老年护理中的SIT的出版物数量正在逐渐增加，呈现出快速的增长速度。在出版物数量方面，美国、加拿大和澳大利亚领先。关键词聚类分析确定了主要研究热点：危机预警、躯体能力、康复训练和社会心理支持。最初的研究主要探讨了康复、运动、系统等主题，后来转向步态分析、肌肉力量、参数和家庭护理。最近，研究主题已经发展到痴呆症，机器学习和游戏化。结论在促进积极老龄化、推进智能医疗、提高临床和家庭老年人日常生活质量方面具有创新意义。SIT的应用可分为危机预警系统、身体状况的详细分析、康复增强和社会心理健康支持。研究趋势已经从全身识别转向精确反馈，从关注身体健康转向关注心理健康，从技术可行性转向用户友好性。未来的研究应侧重于开发可访问且用户友好的设备，促进跨学科创新合作，扩大研究范围以满足不同老年人的身心健康需求，并整合新兴技术以提高数据精度并加速智能平台的发展。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to promote excellence in nursing and health care through the dissemination of the latest, evidence-based, peer-reviewed clinical information and original research, providing an international platform for exchanging knowledge, research findings and nursing practice experience. This journal covers a wide range of nursing topics such as advanced nursing practice, bio-psychosocial issues related to health, cultural perspectives, lifestyle change as a component of health promotion, chronic disease, including end-of-life care, family care giving. IJNSS publishes four issues per year in Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct. IJNSS intended readership includes practicing nurses in all spheres and at all levels who are committed to advancing practice and professional development on the basis of new knowledge and evidence; managers and senior members of the nursing; nurse educators and nursing students etc. IJNSS seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Contributions are welcomed from other health professions on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
