Abstract

This research focuses on the field of medical data security. Using CiteSpace software and bibliometric methods, this study performs a visual analysis of the relevant literature on medical data security published in the CNKI database from 2005 to 2025, and explores the research hotspots and evolution paths of medical data security. The results show that, over the past two decades, research on medical data security in China has generally shown an upward trend. From the perspective of publication volume, it has experienced three stages: the initial exploration period, the rapid development period, and the explosive growth period. From the perspective of research content and technical methods, it can be divided into the preliminary construction stage, the standardization formation stage, and the intelligent and active protection stage. Research hotspots mainly focus on data security, privacy protection, data sharing, network security, access control, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and blockchain. This study provides ideas and directions for subsequent research in this field.
