Advances in applying somatosensory interaction technology in geriatric care: A bibliometric analysis.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Somatosensory Interaction Technology (SIT) is used in various aspects of geriatric care. We aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to summarize relevant publications and visualize publication characteristics, current hotspots, and development trends, thereby inspiring subsequent researches. Methods: We searched the Web of Science Core Collection database for publications on the application of SIT in geriatric care. Bibliometric visualization and clustering analysis were performed using VOSviewer V1.6.18 Software, while keywords burst detection analysis was conducted with CiteSpace 6.1.R6 Software. Results: After screening, a total of 1,019 publications were included. The number of publications on SIT in geriatric care is gradually increasing, exhibiting a rapid growth rate. The United States, Canada, and Australia led in terms of publication volume. Keyword clustering analysis identified major research hotspots: crisis warning, somatic abilities, rehabilitation training and psychosocial support. Initial studies primarily explored themes such as recovery, movement, systems, and later shifted towards gait analysis, muscle strength, parameters, and home-based care. More recently, research themes have evolved to dementia, machine learning, and gamification. Conclusions: SIT is innovative for promoting active aging, advancing intelligent healthcare, and elevating the daily quality of life for older adults in clinical and domestic settings. Applications of SIT can be categorized into early warning systems for crises, detailed analyses of physical conditions, rehabilitation enhancement, and support for psychosocial health. Research trends have transitioned from whole-body recognition to precise feedback, from a focus on physical health to mental health, and from technical feasibility to user-friendliness. Future research should focus on developing accessible and user-friendly devices, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations for innovation, expanding research to address both the physical and mental health needs of diverse older adults, and integrating emerging technologies to enhance data precision and accelerate the development of intelligent platforms.
