nformation Technology and Natural Language Processing in Education: A Systematic and Bibliometric Review (2020–2025)

The development of digital health crowdfunding has become a crucial alternative source of financing, and the research on it is still incomplete. The proposed study will utilize the PRISMA protocol and bibliometric methods, performance analysis, Bradford Law, and science mapping to 121 articles being indexed in Scopus (2010-2025). Findings present four journals at the heart of the research, such as Journal of Medical Internet Research, Social Science and Medicine, Journal of Medical Ethics, BMC Public Health, and Information Processing and Management, with an overall lack of disciplinary focus. The field is organized into thematic clusters, which are trust and transparency, equity and inclusion, technology integration, and platform governance. They also change the thematic direction greatly as those investigations that were aimed at descriptive explorations in the early 2014-2021 are replaced with the middle debates of the 2022-2023 era (which are still centered on legitimacy), and the newer concerns (2024-2025) are centered around equity, regulation, and new technologies (AI, blockchain, gamification, etc.). Given the apparent lack of theoretical cohesiveness despite the burgeoning development of the discipline, this paper provides the first systematic bibliometric synthesis of digital health crowdfunding and demands integrative, theoretically grounded frameworks of connections between donor behaviour, platform governance, and systemic inequities.
