Bridging Technology and Healthcare: A Bibliometric Review of Assistive Technologies in Hospital Environments.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Today, healthcare systems face many challenges due to the increasing number of elderly people and the complex needs of patients with multiple diseases. Previous research has shown that assistive technologies (ATs), like wearable devices, mobile health (mHealth) apps, and smart monitoring systems, can help improve patient care and make healthcare services more efficient. However, many of these studies do not focus so much on hospitals and do not clearly show the effects on clinical outcomes. In this study, the authors conducted a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database to determine how much research has been carried out on assistive technologies in hospitals, especially for patient profiling and treatment. The authors chose articles from the last 20 years using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, and VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20) was used to study keywords, co-authorship, and citation networks to find research trends and missing areas. The results show that even if assistive technologies are growing fast, there are not many studies that focus on hospitals or on important outcomes like quality of care and treatment results. Most of the research is in computer science and engineering, and many keywords for hospital use are not common. This study discusses how assistive technologies can help change healthcare and also shows the current problems, like system integration, data privacy, cost, and whether users accept the technologies. The authors suggest that future research must look at personal solutions, international standards, and better cooperation between doctors, engineers, and policymakers.
