Due to the growing research in this area, it has become essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape and identify the current state of research and future directions in the field of blockchain technology in healthcare. This paper aims to achieve this by conducting a bibliometrics analysis to map the trends and research landscape of blockchain-based healthcare. The bibliometric analysis of scholarly articles and conference papers published in the Scopus database was used to identify the yearly trend of publications, influential authors, leading countries, prominent research institutions, and top journals in this field. Additionally, co-occurrence keywords were analysed to explore the key themes and identify emerging trends and future research directions in blockchain-based healthcare. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in understanding the current state and future prospects of blockchain technology in the healthcare domain. It also serves as a primary reference source for further studies in this area. © 2023 IEEE. date: 2023 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85178139494&doi=10.1109%2feSmarTA59349.2023.10293377&partnerID=40&md5=cb7496159b44ec8c2ed1422b80ac73bf id_number: 10.1109/eSmarTA59349.2023.10293377 full_text_status: none publication: 2023 3rd International Conference on Emerging Smart Technologies and Applications, eSmarTA 2023 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9798350305333 citation: Bazel, M.A. and Mohammed, F. and Ahmad, M. and Baarimah, A.O. and Ibrahim, M.A. (2023) Blockchain-Based Healthcare: Trend Mapping through Bibliometric Analysis.
