Hotspots and trend in research of wearable device / 中华医学图书情报杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the hotspots and trend in research of wearable device. Methods The research hotspots and trend of wearable device were analyzed by literature investigation and bibliometrics. Results The pros-pect of wearable device is broad in the coming years. The powerful electronic and technological nations such as USA and South Korea were the major original places of new technologies for wearable device. The core competitive-ness, complete industry chain, main manufacture system and application of wearable device in our country still had a long way to go compared with those in USA and South Korea. Co-word and clustering analysis showed that the current research hotspots of wearable device were its design concept, new sensor technology and energy store device technology. Literature investigation revealed that independence, low endurance high integration technology, human-computer interaction technology, big data and cloud technology were the main trend of future wearable device. Conclusion Wearable device is still in its initial stage with a lot of problems to be solved in its design, function and management. However, its development prospect is broad.
