Treffer: Study Data from Newcastle University Update Understanding of Health and Medicine (Horizon Scanning Methods for Health Care Technology Innovation Identification: Rapid Scoping Review of Patent Research Studies).

The article focuses on a study investigating the role of patent analysis in advancing health care technology innovation. Conducted by researchers from Newcastle University, the study highlights patents as early indicators of innovation that can aid in horizon scanning and weak signal detection within the health care sector. A rapid scoping review identified 124 relevant studies published since 2020, revealing that trend analysis and recommendations for future research were the most common objectives. The review also noted the importance of data transformation and visualization in detecting emerging trends, with Python and R being the primary programming languages used for developing analytical tools.
