【 摘 要 】

Abstract Background At present, Internet of Things technology has been widely used in various fields, and smart health is also one of its important application areas. Methods We use the core collection of Web of Science as a data source, using tools such as CiteSpace and bibliometric methods to visually analyze 9561 articles published in the field of smart health research based on the Internet of things (IoT) in 2003–2019, including time distribution, spatial distribution, and literature co-citation analysis and keyword analysis. Results The field of smart health research based on IoT has developed rapidly since 2014, but has not yet formed a stable network of authors and institutions. In addition, the knowledge base in this field has been initially formed, and most of the published literatures are multi-theme research. Conclusions This study discusses the research status, research hotspots and future development trends in this field, and provides important knowledge support for subsequent research.
