Abstract

Patents related to healthcare management software and hardware have played an essential role in international competition in the healthcare field in recent years. The study aimed to conduct a strategic analysis of patents in healthcare management based on the theory of competitive strategy and expectation. The results can be an essential reference for the patent layout of healthcare-related enterprises and the promotion of the commercial value of patents. The study took the WIPS Global database as the object, adopted the keyword patent retrieval method, as well as retrieved and analysed 1,731,925 patent materials related to software and hardware for global healthcare management from 2012 to 2022. The Description, IP competitiveness, Applicant Ranking, Technical vs Market share, and Activity index of global patent abstracts were analysed. The results show that patents were divided by section as A (The number of human necessities patents is 6864, accounting for 7% of the total patents); B (performing operations & transporting, 8379, 9%); G (physics, 47340, 49%); H (electricity, 27254, 28%). The results can be used as a reference for enterprises to carry out healthcare management patent layouts and promote commercial value.
