Digital Transformation of Indian Healthcare: A Bibliometric Analysis Based on Telemedicine

India's healthcare system faces challenges due to a shortage of hospitals, doctors, and facilities. The integration of telemedicine into healthcare makes it possible to spread medical expertise to remote areas and improve access to health services. Thus, this study's objective is to ascertain and assess the scientific literature on telemedicine in the Indian context by conducting a bibliometric analysis to identify the publication's trends, important and trending keywords, authors, sources, and most cited publications. Another goal is to determine the conceptual, intellectual, and social structure of the relevant literature. This research conducts a bibliometric analysis of telemedicine literature in India using Scopus data from 2013 to 2022. Among the findings, Kumar A. stands out as the most prolific author, and the “All-India Institute of Medical Science” is the leading institution. The “Journal of Medical Systems” is the most influential source. Trending keywords in 2022 include psychiatry, technology, and attitude. Collaboratively, India and the USA published the highest number of articles. Our study provides a detailed overview of telemedicine advancements in India's healthcare sector, offering valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and practitioners. The findings validate telemedicine's progress in India's healthcare and suggest future studies expand to other countries.
