Research hotspots and trends of monitoring technologies in dementia: A Scientometric analysis

Abstract

Dementia is a serious neurodegenerative disease that will cause a huge burden on patients and their families. With the development of technology, numerous monitoring techniques have emerged. We found 946 papers related to dementia monitoring by searching the core database of web of science, and jointly used Citespace and Vosviewer to visualize and analyze the authors, the number of publications, and the institutions of these papers, and adopted scientific analysis methods such as Price's law in the process of analysis. We found that the number of articles published in this field shows an increasing trend, and the heat of research in this field continues to rise. The United States is the country with the highest number of articles in this field amounting to 304. In recent years, a close collaborative network has been formed between countries, institutions, and authors. Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment are common monitoring diseases, and their corresponding monitoring diagnosis is a major hot research topic. In addition to this, monitoring quality of life concerns for dementia patients and innovations in monitoring devices and modalities are also key research topics in this field. Similarly we also found machine learning, home monitoring to be a major trend for future research in the field.
