Description
Summary:BackgroundWith the rapid advancements in science and technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly integral to various medical applications, including medical devices and assistive healthcare tools. Extensive research highlights the significant potential of AI in the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled medical devices, particularly in the field of cardiac sensing.MethodsThis study explores and synthesizes current advancements and future directions of AI-driven IoT applications in cardiac sensing, highlighting their significance. Utilizing a bibliometric approach, we visualize key focus areas, emerging trends, and the evolutionary trajectory of this interdisciplinary field.ResultsAs of December 2024, relevant literature at the intersection of IoT, cardiac sensors, and AI was systematically retrieved from the SCIE and ESCI indices. Using CiteSpace, we conducted a comprehensive visualization analysis of countries/regions, academic publications, organizations, authors, citations, and key terminologies. A total of 2,128 papers were included in the analysis.ConclusionFrom our perspective, current advancements in AI-powered IoT cardiac sensors primarily focus on optimizing AI algorithms, such as deep learning techniques, and enhancing the functionality of smart wearable devices for precision medicine. Looking ahead, we anticipate that this field will increasingly prioritize data privacy protection, particularly in the era of large language models, to address emerging challenges and ensure sustainable growth. In summary, we need to continue harnessing the power of AI-powered IoT for cardiac sensing as part of public health strategies to enable early detection of heart diseases.
