The integration of multimodal data sources, such as combining imaging, genomic, and clinical data, is gaining traction. Researchers are exploring how these diverse datasets can improve predictive modeling and patient outcomes. - Telehealth and Digital Therapeutics:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of telehealth solutions and digital therapeutics, leading to an increase in research focused on remote patient care, virtual consultations, and digital health interventions. - Explainable AI in Medical Applications:
As AI becomes more prevalent in healthcare, there is a rising emphasis on explainability and transparency in AI models. Researchers are developing methods to ensure that AI-driven decisions can be understood and trusted by clinicians.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Statistical Methods in Health Research:
There seems to be a reduced focus on conventional statistical approaches in favor of more advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. This shift indicates a growing preference for complex models that can handle high-dimensional data and provide deeper insights. - Basic Health Technology Assessments:
Research that simply evaluates the efficacy of health technologies without integrating advanced computational methods or data analytics appears less frequently. The focus has shifted towards more sophisticated analyses that combine multiple data sources and advanced algorithms. - Single-Modal Data Approaches:
The use of single-modality data for health assessments is becoming less common, as there is a growing emphasis on multimodal data integration. Studies that solely rely on one type of data source, such as imaging or clinical records, are being overshadowed by research that combines various modalities. - General Health Informatics without Specific Applications:
There is a noticeable decline in publications that discuss health informatics in broad terms without a specific application or case study. The journal is increasingly favoring research that demonstrates practical implementations and real-world impacts.
