The aim of this provision is to include researchers in scientific publications revealing their research activities in the field of wearable health technologies and conducting research on this subject. In this context, bibliometric analysis of English articles in the Web of Science database between 1996 and 2023 was conducted using the R programming language. The search criteria included keywords such as "health," "technology," "physical activity," "devices," "sensors," "design," "adoption," "information technology," "user acceptance," and "acceptance." This search yielded a comprehensive collection of 5,327 studies related to wearable health technologies published between 1996 and 2023.. The data set obtained from these people was analyzed where the "biblioshiny" in the RStudio program was located. As a result of the research, the most frequently used words, the most relevant institutions in the field, and the stored regional growth amounts and citation records were obtained. This study is an important resource for researchers who want to conduct research and studies in the field of wearable health technologies. Since the calendar year 2023 has not been finalised, some graphs do not show the relevant year.
