Abstract

In a social environment where population aging is rapidly progressing, the healthcare service market is growing fast with the increasing interest in health and quality of life based on rising income levels and the evolution of technology. In this study, after keywords were extracted from Korean and US patent data published on KIPRIS from 2000 to October 2019, frequency analysis, time series analysis, and keyword network analysis were performed. Through this, the change of technology trends were identified, which keywords related to healthcare was shifted from traditional medical words to ICT words. In addition, although the keywords in Korean patents are 55% similar to those in the US, they show an absolute gap in patent production volume. In the next study, we will analyze various data such as domestic and international research and can obtain meaningful implications in the global market on the identified keywords.

지속적인 인구 증가율 하락에도 불구하고 평균 수명 상승에 따라 인구 고령화가 빠르게 진행되고 있는 사회환경에서 기술의 진화 및 소득 수준의 상승을 기반으로 건강과 삶의 질에 대한 관심이 증가하며 헬스케어 서비스 시장은 급속히 성장하고 있는 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2019년 10월까지 특허정보넷(KIPRIS)에 게재된 헬스케어 관련 한국과 미국의 특허데이터를 대상으로 Keyword를 추출한 후 빈도 분석, 시계열 분석, Keyword Network 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 헬스케어 분야의 핵심 Keyword가 전통적인 의료 관련 Keyword에서 ICT관련 Keyword로 변화하고 있는 기술 트렌드가 파악되었다. 또한 미국과 비교하여 핵심 Keyword들이 55% 유사한 분포를 보이지만 특허생산량 면에서 절대적인 격차를 확인하였다. 향후에는 핵심 Keyword에 대하여 국내외 연구동향 등 다양한 자료를 분석하여 글로벌 시장에서 유의미한 시사점을 얻을 수 있는 연구를 진행하고자 한다.
