Abstract

Purpose: Healthcare has been facing rising challenges in recent years. To mitigate these issues, an appreciable amount of effort has been invested in studies about Healthcare 4.0. Despite the recognized importance of this topic, its recentness and multidisciplinary character are obstacles to its precise understanding. In this light, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive view of the current development of Healthcare 4.0.

Design/methodology/approach: We systematically reviewed the literature, which resulted in 130 papers retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out using this sample.

Findings: As a result of the quantitative analysis, we notice an increasing trend in health-related studies, notwithstanding its novelty. India is also recognized as the leading reference on the subject, as it is the country with more papers in the sample and the most influential authors. On the other hand, through qualitative analysis, an extensive review and analysis of the technologies and applications of Healthcare 4.0 is presented, along with a discussion of its underexplored areas.

Originality/value: The results of this paper provide valuable knowledge to guide and encourage further analysis on this topic, including recommendations for future research directions.

医疗4.0：系统文献综述。

目的：近年来，医疗保健面临着越来越多的挑战。为了缓解这些问题，在医疗保健4.0的研究中投入了相当多的精力。尽管认识到这一主题的重要性，它的新近性和多学科性质是其精确理解的障碍。鉴于此，本文旨在提供医疗保健4.0当前发展的全面视图。设计/方法/方法：我们系统地回顾了文献，从Web of Science和Scopus数据库中检索了130篇论文。利用该样本进行了定量和定性分析。结果：作为定量分析的结果，我们注意到健康相关研究的增加趋势，尽管它很新颖。印度也被认为是该主题的主要参考文献，因为它是样本中论文较多和最有影响力的作者的国家。另一方面，通过定性分析，对医疗保健4.0的技术和应用进行了广泛的回顾和分析，并讨论了其未开发的领域。原创性/价值：本文的结果提供了有价值的知识来指导和鼓励对该主题的进一步分析，包括对未来研究方向的建议。
