Home care and telemedicine are crucial for physical and mental health. Although there is a lot of information on these topics, it is scattered across various sources, making it difficult to identify key contributions and authors. This study conducts a scientometric analysis to consolidate the most relevant information. The methodology is divided into two parts: first, a scientometric mapping that analyzes scientific production by country, journal, and author; second, the identification of prominent contributions using the Tree of Science (ToS) tool. The goal is to identify trends and support decision-making in the health sector by providing guidelines based on the most relevant research.
