Analyzing the impact of Technological Innovations in Medicine on Global Healthcare Research and Development using a content analysis approach

<ns7:p>Purpose The aim of the study is to enable health professionals, researchers, and organizations, to learn about the most advanced technological innovations reported in the medical literature. Methods Content analysis (CA) was used to gather data by expert investigators from “ScienceDirect” database from 2018 to 2022 inclusively. Megastat was used to analyze the frequency counts of the reported key. Results A total of N= 10,767 data point related to technological innovation in medicine were identified. Frequency counts and data interactions revealed three major categories, innovative domains, information technology, and medicine, each defined by their most frequently cited terms: precision medicine (n=1448) and regenerative medicine (n=1242), AI (n=1797) and telemedicine (n=1114), and messenger RiboNucleic Acid (mRNA) (n=1008), cancer immunotherapy (n=712), and CRISPR (n=620), respectively. Conclusions The CA indicates that the literature reports the medical community and healthcare industry as actively engaging with various technologies to advance patient care and enhance quality of life. Precision medicine, regenerative medicine, AI, telemedicine, mRNA, CRISPR, and cancer immunotherapy were the most frequently cited. Future studies could expand the scope by including additional databases to provide a more comprehensive overview.</ns7:p>
