Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the status of research and hot topics in the field of telecare and provide a theoretical basis for future research development in this field. Methods: The literature on telecare in the Web of Science core collection was searched and analyzed using CiteSpace software for visualization and analysis. Results: A total of 1267 papers were included in the study. The number of annual publications in telecare research has consistently increased over the past 20 years. The United States has the highest number of publications in this field. Khan, Muhammad Kashif Iqbal is the author with the highest number of publications. Research institutions primarily consist of universities. The relevant research findings are predominantly published in journals specializing in healthcare science and services. The main research topics in telecare include telecare technology optimization, telecare application areas, and telecare goal evaluation. Conclusion: Existing research strives to enhance user information security and improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare by exploring innovative user authentication schemes and federated artificial intelligence technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the advancement of telecare, with emergency medicine and chronic disease management being its primary application areas. Enhancing patient self-care stands as a key objective within this domain.
