Objectives: To analysis patent trend of health technology based on Information and Communication technology (ICT).
Methods: We searched the patents from Korea, the United States, Japan, Europe, and China using the database of Worldwide Intellectual Property Services (WIPS) which has recently begun to provide online global patent-information services. We analyzed all documents from January 1995 to September 2016. Among the searched patent, we selected the relevant patients for quantitative analysis based on the predefined selection criteria. For in-depth analysis on the disease, technology, and health technology, we selected articles on core patent.
Results: We found 110,909 patents from WIPS, and we analyzed 10,633 relevant patents quantitatively. The US led the trend toward continuous growth of relevant patents from 1995 to late. And all major market is a growth stage in the number of applications and applicants of relevant patents. And most active field of technology is mobile based technology (61%). After quantitative analysis, we reappraised 137 core patents. And the most frequent technology was ‘Big Data & Artificial Intelligence’ for diagnosis and treatment technology of acute diseases (56cases, 8.5%). There are noticeable technology in ‘Mobile’ for diagnosis and treatment technology of chronic diseases (48cases, 7.3%).
Conclusion: While most technologies are highly utilized for clinical market, but some of them requires more procedures and processes for commercialization. Furthermore, If government provides professional support for clinical trial design and implementation on promising patent technologies, the direction of future development of domestic medical field would be predictable and rapid introduction of promising health technology would be possible.
