LONDON, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global
provider of transformative intelligence, today released a Global
Research Report from the Institute for Scientific Information
(ISI)™. The report integrates and interprets multiple data sources
from across Clarivate™ portfolios to highlight the academic and
societal benefits of the rapidly evolving landscape of digital
health.
Research impact in society and the economy: The digital
health revolution in medical care highlights a rapid
growth in both research and patent activity around digital health.
It identifies the leading global players and organizations and
their collaborations, alongside emerging companies with potential
impact. By combining data from the Web of Science™ and Derwent
World Patents Index™, experts at the ISI and the newly established
Clarivate Center for IP and Innovation Research™ provide a
comprehensive analysis of the digital health space. The analysis is
presented alongside a taxonomy to categorize it into major fields,
developed by analysts from the Life Sciences & Healthcare
segment at Clarivate.
This study builds on a recent collaboration with Times Higher
Education and initial findings were presented at Digital Health
2024, an industry-wide event held at Stanford University in February 2024.
Digital health encompasses the use of digital technologies, such
as mobile apps, wearables and telemedicine, to improve health and
healthcare delivery. The anticipated societal benefits of accessing
and utilizing digital health include improving access to and the
quality of medical care, enabling more personalized care with
greater patient involvement and commitment, fostering a shift
towards preventive rather than reactive care, streamlining
healthcare delivery and reducing costs.
David Pendlebury, Head of
Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at
Clarivate and co-author of the report, said: "We are witnessing a
surge in digital health research and innovation, highlighted by the
significant growth in academic publications and patent filings. The
outputs of this study will appeal to those interested in the future
of healthcare technology and its societal impact, providing a
valuable foundation for informed decision-making in this dynamic
field for academic institutions, corporate entities and government
bodies."
Key findings include:
- Significant growth in digital health publications: There
has been a nearly 70-fold increase in academic papers featuring the
term digital health in the decade to 2022, reflecting a major shift
towards the integration of digital technologies in healthcare. This
has been recently driven by advances in artificial intelligence
(AI) and advanced analytics, predating the popularization of AI
technologies such as ChatGPT.
- Rapid increase in digital health patenting activity:
Patenting activity in digital health has outpaced the growth in
publications, with approximately 140,000 patent inventions
identified from 2013 to 2022 – indicating robust efforts within the
industry to secure intellectual capital and gain market
advantage.
- Corporate dominance in patenting: Our analysts highlight
an eclectic mix of organizations, side-by-side within one patent
analysis — Snap and AstraZeneca, Nike and Johnson & Johnson or
Eli Lilly and Nvidia — demonstrating the convergent and
collaborative nature of the field of digital health.
- Strength of AI patenting in digital health: Mainland
China, represented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, universities
and corporations, plays a pivotal role in this field.
- Impact of university research on digital health
innovation: University research significantly influences
digital health innovation, with research papers frequently cited by
patents, highlighting their role in driving intellectual property
advancements.
