AB - As digital technologies reshape health communication, numerous studies have examined the role of specific health communication technologies, yet a comprehensive, data‑driven analysis of research trends in this field remains limited. This study employs a scientometric approach to systematically map the intellectual landscape of health communication technologies by analyzing 1,067 journal articles published between 2010 and 2024. Findings from co‑word analysis and strategic mapping reveal that patient‑centered digital tools, mobile health applications, and public engagement strategies are well‑established research domains, whereas cybersecurity, blockchain, and speech communication technologies remain underexamined. Additionally, community detection analysis highlights the interdisciplinary nature of health communication technology research, with strong linkages among the social sciences, digital health, and information technology. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how technological advancements have shaped health communication and offer directions for future research in this rapidly evolving field.
