| description | Objective: This study determined the development trends, analyzed collaboration networks, and identified research hotspots in the field of wearable sensors for wound care from 2007 to 2024 using a rigorous bibliometric analysis approach. Methods: Bibliometric and scientometric analyses were performed utilizing data sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database. This study examined publication trends, contributions from various countries and institutions, author productivity, keyword prevalence, and citation patterns to discern research hotspots and potential future avenues in the application of wearable sensors for wound care. Results: This study included 1177 articles, which demonstrated a marked increase in publications since 2016 and underscores the burgeoning interest in wearable sensors for wound care. China and the United States have emerged as prominent contributors to the research field, exhibiting numerous international collaborations. An analysis of keywords and citation bursts highlighted wound healing, hydrogels, and sensors as the key research foci with recent trends shifting towards the integration of wearable technology with advanced materials and artificial intelligence for advanced wound management. The research landscape is characterized by a diverse network of international collaborations and an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate materials science, sensor technology, and clinical applications. Conclusion: The utilization of wearable sensors in wound care constitutes a rapidly progressing area of research, garnering significant interest and promising avenues for future advances. The integration of wearable sensors with advanced materials and AI technologies presents a frontier of opportunity for innovating wound care methodologies, enhancing patient outcomes, and optimizing the allocation of healthcare resources. |
