基于专利计量的全球健康管理领域可穿戴设备发展态势分析
Patentometric analysis of development trends of wearable devices in global health management
摘要
Abstract
Objective The study aims to analyze the development status and trends of patents related to wearable devices in the global health management field,and to provide a reference for researchers in the field of wearable medical equipment.Methods Patents were retrieved from the IncoPat Global Technology Analysis and Operations Platform for the period from January 1,2000,to December 17,2024.Statistical analysis and visualization were conducted on dimensions such as patent application trends,geographical distribution,applicants,legal status,technology categories,technical efficacy,and keywords related to wearable devices in the global field of health management.Results A total of 4 270 patent documents were included,involving 4 270 patents.From 2000 to 2024,the number of patent applications for wearable devices in the global health management field exhibited a phased growth trend.Notably,China's application trend in this field aligned with the global trend,showing rapid development in recent years to become the country with the most patent applications,followed by the United States,India,South Korea,and Japan.Technically,patents were primarily distributed in IPC classes A61B(Diagnosis;Surgery;Identification)and G16H(Healthcare Informatics,i.e.,Information and Communication Technology for processing medical or health data).Major applicants included Samsung Electronics Co.,Ltd.,i4C Innovations Inc.,Industrial Technology Research Institute,International Business Machines Corporation(IBM),and AliphCom.Regarding legal status,from 2000 to 2024,there were 2 208 patents in the authorized and published states,and 627 patents in the withdrawn and rejected states.Keyword cluster analysis indicated that"machine learning"was the most frequent term,followed by"health management","health monitoring","vital signs"and"smart wearables".Conclusions The number of patent applications for wearable devices in the global health management field presents an overall phased growth trend,and China ranks first in the number of patent applications in this field.Currently,the R&D focus of wearable device technology is shifting towards intelligence and precision.关键词
