Abstract

Objective To obtain quantitative evidence for innovation management on Emerging Technologies and Global Health from existing scientific research with a bibliometric approach. Design This study generates quantitative evidence for healthcare innovation policy making, offering new insights: first, innovation quality can be measured through dynamic interactions among key innovation elements; second, as emerging technologies are impacting global health in an interdisciplinary and fast-changing manner, new theories and tools that suit the planetary innovation ecosystem need to be established. The evidence contains two aspects, the intellectual base and the research front. The software used is Citespace V.6.1.R3 and Python. Data source This study scanned the Web of Science Core Collection with an extensive range of research themed around emerging technologies and global health, resulting in a dataset of 9738 items of science literature between 2017 and 2021. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies This dataset contains literature across sciences and social sciences in the form of journal research articles, excluding systematic reviews and surveys. The search includes literature in all languages. Results This study presents the landscape of emerging technology and global health, depicts the quality of innovation, and reveals the innovation trends. It demonstrates the major players and major sources of innovation, captures innovation foci and detects research blanks. Conclusion This bibliometric analysis, which is conducted on scientific research, outlines the quality and impact of innovation in Emerging Technologies and Global Health. It shows the importance of Research and Development for generating quantitative evidence for innovation management policy making.

期刊介绍： Healthcare is undergoing a revolution and novel medical technologies are being developed to treat patients in better and faster ways. Mobile revolution has put a handheld computer in pockets of billions and we are ushering in an era of mHealth. In developed and developing world alike healthcare costs are a concern and frugal innovations are being promoted for bringing down the costs of healthcare. BMJ Innovations aims to promote innovative research which creates new, cost-effective medical devices, technologies, processes and systems that improve patient care, with particular focus on the needs of patients, physicians, and the health care industry as a whole and act as a platform to catalyse and seed more innovations. Submissions to BMJ Innovations will be considered from all clinical areas of medicine along with business and process innovations that make healthcare accessible and affordable. Submissions from groups of investigators engaged in international collaborations are especially encouraged. The broad areas of innovations that this journal aims to chronicle include but are not limited to: Medical devices, mHealth and wearable health technologies, Assistive technologies, Diagnostics, Health IT, systems and process innovation.
