Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Wearable technology has revolutionized healthcare in recent years thanks to its ability to collect accurate data on the health status of patients. Wearable devices, such as smartwatches, wristbands, and fitness trackers, are designed to be worn on the body and can measure various body parameters, including heart rate, blood pressure, physical activity, and sleep quality. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the 100 most cited articles on wearable technology in the area of Medical Informatics. METHODS: The Web of Science database carried out a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on wearable technology in the area of Medical Informatics. The objective is to identify the main trends and themes in this area of research. RESULTS: There is an increasing trend in the number of papers published and citations received in recent years, with some years with low publications but high citations and others with high publications but low citations. A positive and statistically significant correlation (r = 0.66; P<0.001) was found between the number of documents published by the authors and the number of citations they received. The analysis of publications by country, reveals that the United States is the most productive country, with 49 documents, followed by the United Kingdom, China, and Italy. However, when considering the impact of the research, other countries such as Canada, Germany, China, and South Korea have significantly high average citations per paper and leadership. CONCLUSION: The results of this study have several important implications for the research and development of wearable technology in the area of Medical Informatics. The increase in the number of papers published and citations received in recent years suggests a growing interest and advances in research. This indicates an increasing need to develop innovative real-time solutions for measuring and monitoring physical activity and health.
