dc.description.abstractThis bibliometric research explores the global evolution of machine learning applications in medical and healthcare research for 3 decades (1994 to 2023). The study applies data mining techniques to a comprehensive dataset of published articles related to machine learning applications in the medical and healthcare sectors. The data extraction process includes the retrieval of relevant information from the source sources such as journals, books, and conference proceedings. An analysis of the extracted data is then conducted to identify the trends in the machine learning applications in medical and healthcare research. The Results revealed the publications published and indexed in the Scopus and PubMed database over the last 30 years. Bibliometric Analysis revealed that funding played a more significant role in publication productivity compared to collaboration (co-authorships), particularly at the country level. Hotspots analysis revealed three core research themes on MLHC research hence demonstrating the importance of machine learning applications to medical and healthcare research. Further, the study showed that the MLHC research landscape has largely focused on ML applications to tackle various issues ranging from chronic medical challenges (e.g., cardiological diseases) to patient data security. The findings of this research may be useful to policy makers and practitioners in the medical and healthcare sectors and to global research endeavours in the field. Future studies could include addressing issues such as growing ethical considerations, integration, and practical applications in wearable technology, IoT, and smart healthcare systems. © 2024 The Author(s)en_US
