This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of academic papers and conference proceedings related to tablet dispensers, medicine dispensers, and pill dispensers within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 03: Good Health and Well-Being. The analysis spans literature published between 1997 and 2023. Utilizing the Web of Science database, the study employs keywords such as "tablet dispenser," "medicine dispenser," and "pill dispenser" to gather relevant English-language papers classified as Proceeding Papers or Articles. The inclusion and exclusion criteria filtered 79 initial records down to 40, focusing on articles pertinent to SDG 03. Data analysis was performed using the Biblioshiny App through RStudio, examining publication trends, authorship patterns, citation networks, and other bibliometric indicators. The findings reveal a steady increase in research output, moderate citation impact, extensive references, and collaborative authorship, with limited international collaboration. The study underscores the growing interest and research activity in robotic tablet dispensing machines for elderly care while highlighting areas for further global engagement.
本研究在可持续发展目标3：良好健康与福祉的框架内，对与片剂分配器、药品分配器和药丸分配器相关的学术论文和会议论文进行了文献计量分析。该分析涵盖了1997年至2023年发表的文献。利用科学网数据库，该研究采用了“片剂分配器”、“药品分配器”和“药丸分配器”等关键词，收集归类为会议论文或文章的相关英文论文。纳入和排除标准将79条初始记录筛选至40条，重点关注与可持续发展目标3相关的文章。使用通过RStudio的Biblioshiny应用程序进行数据分析，研究出版趋势、作者模式、引文网络和其他文献计量指标。研究结果显示研究产出稳步增长、引文影响力适中、参考文献广泛且存在合作作者情况，但国际合作有限。该研究强调了在用于老年护理的机器人片剂分配机器方面日益增长的兴趣和研究活动，同时突出了进一步全球参与的领域。
