Mapping the Evolution of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, 2017–2025: An Integrated Bibliometric and Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Modelling Analysis
This study integrates standard bibliometric analysis with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling on a curated corpus of 2,631 healthcare AI documents from 2017 to 2025 to overcome keyword limitations, revealing a maturation trajectory from deployment-ready applications to governance-dependent frontiers like large language models and explainable AI.
