Use of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Edge Intelligence in Long-Term Care for Older People: Comprehensive Analysis Through Bibliometric, Google Trends, and Content Analysis
AI, IoT, and EI collectively form a powerful ecosystem in LTC settings, addressing different aspects of care for older adults. Our study suggests that increased international collaboration and the integration of emerging themes such as "rehabilitation," "stroke," and "mHealth" are necessary to meet the evolving care needs of this population. Additionally, incorporating high-interest keywords such as "machine learning," "smart home," and "caregiver" can enhance discoverability and relevance for both academic and public audiences. Future research should focus on expanding sample sizes, conducting long-term multicenter trials, and exploring broader health conditions beyond dementia, such as frailty and depression.
