Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are becoming indispensable nowadays for the healthcare industry. The utilization of ICT in healthcare services has accelerated even faster after the commencement of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study aims to perform a scientometric analysis of scholarly literature on airborne diseases in the discipline of science and technology. It explores the recent advancement of internet technologies in healthcare to control the prevalence of deadly airborne illnesses by applying analytical approaches. It presents publication trends, citation structure, influential sources, co-citation, and co-occurrence network analysis using the CiteSpace tool. It identifies the important research topics, current research hotspots, most active research areas, and leading technologies in this scientific knowledge domain. It inferred significant results from analyses that will benefit researchers and the academic fraternity across the globe to understand the evolving paths and recent scientific progress of ICT in airborne disease management.
