OBJECTIVE: In the digital age, eHealth is vital in modern healthcare, impacting medical services and public health. Despite its potential in disease management, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is lacking. This study utilizes bibliometric methods to explore the evolution of eHealth in disease management from 1999 to 2023, aiming to discern the research status and trends. METHODS: A literature search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. Publications and journals were quantitatively analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel 2023. Country/institution/author collaborations and keyword co-occurrences were analyzed using VOSviewer. CiteSpace was employed to analyze the citation bursts of reference. A global distribution network of publications was constructed and thematic trends were analyzed using R package "bibliometrix." RESULTS: The study identified 1763 articles on eHealth in disease management. Since 2011, there has been a notable increase in publications, with the United States (n = 391, 22.08%) and the University of Sydney (n = 60, 3.40%) as leading contributors. High-quality journals primarily publish this research. Globally, 9631 authors contributed, with Chavannes, Niels H being the most prolific (n = 23). Author co-citation analysis indicated Eysenbach, G as the most cited (n = 336). Research currently focuses on developing a comprehensive eHealth framework, optimizing mHealth for chronic diseases, improving eHealth intervention trial reporting, assessing social factors in eHealth literacy, and examining telemedicine's role during the Covid-19 pandemic. CONCLUSION: This study offers a comprehensive overview of eHealth research in disease management. eHealth's potential in disease prevention and treatment is significant. To enhance eHealth's impact, international collaboration, technological innovation, tailored intervention trials, addressing the digital divide, and solving legal and ethical issues are crucial. This study will guide future research endeavors, with the goal of enhancing eHealth's benefits and expanding its accessibility to a wider patient base.
目的:在数字时代,电子健康在现代医疗保健中至关重要,对医疗服务和公共卫生产生影响。尽管其在疾病管理方面具有潜力,但缺乏全面的文献计量分析。本研究利用文献计量方法探讨1999年至2023年电子健康在疾病管理中的演变,旨在了解研究现状和趋势。 方法:使用Web of Science核心合集(WOSCC)数据库进行文献检索。使用Microsoft Office Excel 2023对出版物和期刊进行定量分析。使用VOSviewer分析国家/机构/作者合作以及关键词共现情况。使用CiteSpace分析参考文献的引用爆发情况。构建出版物的全球分布网络,并使用R包“bibliometrix”分析主题趋势。 结果:该研究确定了1763篇关于电子健康在疾病管理方面的文章。自2011年以来,出版物数量显著增加,美国(n = 391,22.08%)和悉尼大学(n = 60,3.40%)是主要贡献者。高质量期刊主要发表此类研究。全球有9631位作者做出了贡献,Chavannes, Niels H是最多产的作者(n = 23)。作者共被引分析表明Eysenbach, G是被引次数最多的作者(n = 336)。目前的研究重点是建立全面的电子健康框架、优化慢性病的移动健康、改进电子健康干预试验报告、评估电子健康素养中的社会因素以及研究远程医疗在新冠疫情期间的作用。 结论:本研究全面概述了电子健康在疾病管理方面的研究情况。电子健康在疾病预防和治疗方面的潜力巨大。为了增强电子健康的影响,国际合作、技术创新、量身定制的干预试验、解决数字鸿沟以及解决法律和伦理问题至关重要。本研究将指导未来的研究工作,目标是提高电子健康的效益,并扩大其对更广泛患者群体的可及性。
