Abstract

The 2019 health crisis has underscored the imperative role of information and communications technology (ICT) in bolstering employees' health, well-being, and ameliorating health risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) errors. Digital health technology facilitates remote healthcare delivery, employee health monitoring, and enhanced communication channels between workers and healthcare professionals. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of global trends in digital occupational health research over the past decade, with a specific focus on prolific authors, countries, academic institutions, and publications. Leveraging the PRISMA framework and VOSviewer software, relevant documents are extracted from the Scopus database. The findings underscore the significance of digital technology in the realm of occupational health and highlight the pressing need for further investigation, particularly encompassing emerging economies and employing robust methodologies to ensure the reliability of results. This study offers a valuable assessment of advancements in digital occupational health, serving as a foundation for future research endeavors aimed at optimizing workplace health and well-being on a global scale.
