This bibliometric analysis highlights the expanding research and application of telemedicine in cardiac rehabilitation, suggesting that wearable devices and smartphones may increasingly replace traditional rehabilitation methods.
In recent years, the application of telemedicine technology in cardiac rehabilitation has increased rapidly. This study aimed to investigate the application status, research hotspots, and emerging trends of telemedicine technology in cardiac rehabilitation over the past 20 years. Based on a dataset of 425 publications extracted from the Web of Science, we performed a bibliometric analysis using Citespace, VOSviewer, Bicomb and gCLUTO. A total of 425 papers were included in the analysis. The number of publications on this topic of study has increased in the past years. The United States ranked first with 86 papers, followed by Australia with 77 papers. Notably, Maddison, Ralph, an accomplished Australia academic, secured the top position as the most prolific author, having authored 13 publications. The prevalent keywords employed by researchers encompass "Cardiac rehabilitation," "Physical activity," and "exercise". The bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive overview of telemedicine technology's utilization in the field of cardiac rehabilitation. Our findings lead us to conclude that the application of telemedicine technology is expanding, and wearable devices, smartphones, etc. may replace traditional cardiac rehabilitation.
