Prototyping with raspberry pi in healthcare domain a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

—The objective of this paper is to conduct a bibliometric study on the use of Raspberry Pi in the medical field. In the past several decades healthcare advancements have played a major role and Raspberry Pi being the charm with its extensive features and low cost, it is of interest to know whether the development in health care technologies with respect to Raspberry Pi has created an impact or not. A platform known as Biblioshiny has been used to collect statistical information and perform the analysis. A total of 154 journal articles have been collected from PubMed, a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM) and analysis has been made on various parameters such as top authors, countries and affiliations etc. The conclusions drawn help us to understand the usage of Raspberry Pi in the healthcare domain. The Bibliometric Analysis done indicates that there has been an increase in the research over the years and the authors from various countries have been working elaborately indicating that there has been a good amount of usage of Raspberry Pi in the healthcare domain. Overall, our results demonstrate the trending topics the authors currently working on and collaborations amongst authors and countries. Finally, this paper identifies that there are no motor themes but displays the budding keywords (or the ideas where authors have worked on) in the health care domain emerging with the prototyping of Raspberry Pi.
