Pears, Matthew; Konstantinidis, Stathis

Abstract

In 2020, substantial impact occurred around how technology was used due to COVID-19. This may have reignited interest in blockchain technology, and understanding the research overtime can help in predicting future directions in health domains. From performing several bibliometric analyses, several changes were identified around 2020. Web of Science database and Scopus were harvested. Smart contracts, HyperLedger Fabrics, and Electronic Health Record themes are growing research hotspots. After understanding recent shifts, these findings inform scholars and practitioners of trends and significance area for blockchain technology research in health-related domains.
