“…The rapid development of digital technology has deeply impacted on the business processes and entrepreneurial activities, questioning the extant innovation and entrepreneurship theories (Berger and Kuckerts, 2016a, b;Castagna et al, 2020;Cerchione et al, 2022;Kraus et al, 2019;Nambisan et al, 2017;Zaheer et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to conceptualize the digital behavior of startups and investigate the emerging behaviors about digital strategies of the Italian startup firms enrolled in the Startup Act policy initiative. Digital technologies were divided into intra- and inter-organizational digital infrastructures, and this categorization offers startups the opportunity to identify a set of enabling technologies that could be used to improve their digital strategies.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical analysis has been conducted to investigate the degree of adoption of digital intra- and inter-organizational digital infrastructures in the entire population of 6,178 Italian firms listed in the Register of Innovative Startups.FindingsThe paper proposes a taxonomy bringing together four startup behaviors for adopting digital technologies: digital follower, technical influencer, social influencer and digital leader. From the perspective of policy makers, considering the financial efforts that public authorities are supporting in the last decade, implications are mainly concerned with policy measures aimed both to reinforce the overall adoption of digital technologies and to develop a balanced adoption of intra- and inter-organizational digital infrastructures.Originality/valueMeasures addressed to support female and foreign entrepreneurship could be useful to support a more dynamic and well-balanced cultural and racial contamination, thus improving the adoption of digital tools.

“…Block-chain. Block-chain plays a vital role in modern healthcare systems, and is considered to be one of the most transversal and promising technologies [ 74 , 75 , 76 ]. The data source, robustness, decentralized management, security, and privacy of the block-chain and the immutability of stored data are the main reasons why the block-chain attracts the attention of the healthcare industry [ 74 , 77 ].…”

“…The current limitations are mainly related to model performance, implementation constraints, and costs [ 75 , 78 ]. Many industries have adopted or are adopting necessary technologies to meet users’ demand for instant information, but the healthcare sector has fallen behind in this regard and is still facing the challenge of establishing a high-performance, scalable, and patient-centered information storage and exchange environment [ 74 ]. Block-chain has been widely considered by scholars in the health technology research field.…”

This paper aims to summarize the publishing trends, current status, research topics, and frontier evolution trends of health technology between 1990 and 2020 through various bibliometric analysis methods. In total, 6663 articles retrieved from the Web of Science core database were analyzed by Vosviewer and CiteSpace software. This paper found that: (1) The number of publications in the field of health technology increased exponentially; (2) there is no stable core group of authors in this research field, and the influence of the publishing institutions and journals in China is insufficient compared with those in Europe and the United States; (3) there are 21 core research topics in the field of health technology research, and these research topics can be divided into four classes: hot spots, potential hot spots, margin topics, and mature topics. C21 (COVID-19 prevention) and C10 (digital health technology) are currently two emerging research topics. (4) The number of research frontiers has increased in the past five years (2016–2020), and the research directions have become more diverse; rehabilitation, pregnancy, e-health, m-health, machine learning, and patient engagement are the six latest research frontiers.

“…Digital transformation is considered one of the most effective responses to face the pressures of stakeholders, improve the quality of health services and reduce costs ( Locatelli et al, 2010 , 2012 ; Secundo et al, 2018 ; Saifudin et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, digital health solutions such as electronic health records, monitoring equipment, tele-health, electronic communications, data analysis, and web and cloud-based tools, if implemented in a targeted manner, have the potential to reduce health inequalities and increase well-being of users through a substantial change in the way in which care and health services are provided to patients ( Or et al, 2014 ; Mihailescu and Mihailescu, 2018 ; Spanò et al, 2021 ; Cerchione et al, 2022 ). In this regard, for example, the digitalisation of health records, understood as the conversion from paper format into computerized form, has consequently improved the overall quality of health care provided, also leading to an increase in the provision of care and patient safety ( Car et al, 2008 ).…”
