automation, intelligent control, engineering in medicine, electronic healthcare, medical roboticsAbstract
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the field of mechatronics applied to health, addressing the need to understand the evolution of this discipline and its growing applications. The methodology used was descriptive and retrospective, applied to data retrieved from the Scopus database. Various parameters were employed to define the inclusion and exclusion criteria for data collection and analysis. Several analysis questions were formulated to identify key trends through a descriptive examination of publications over the last five years. The study yielded 110 documents, from which the journals with the most articles, the most relevant authors in the field, the countries with a significant number of publications, and the researchers' preferences, among other aspects, were identified. The annual variability in the number of publications may indicate the need to strengthen international collaboration and increase investment in transdisciplinary projects. The bibliometric techniques employed have allowed for the identification of a sustained trend in scientific production related to mechatronics applied to medicine.
