Mapping the Scientific Landscape of Mobile Health (mHealth): A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends

Abstract

This study aims to analyze scientific developments and trends in the field of mobile health (mHealth)
through a bibliometric approach. A total of 105 articles selected obtained from the Scopus database
between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The analysis focuses on identifying
publication trends, frequently appearing keywords, the most productive authors and institutions, and
scientific collaboration patterns. The visualization results show that mHealth research is growing rapidly with several main thematic clusters, such as digital health applications, chronic disease monitoring,
telemedicine, and the use of wearable devices. Visualization of keyword networks and author collaborations reveals a close relationship between technological aspects and mobile-based healthcare practices.
These findings provide a comprehensive picture of the mHealth research landscape and can be an important reference for developing more targeted and collaborative research strategies in the future.
