Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a substantial loss of human life throughout the world and has
a tremendous impact on healthcare services. Industry 4.0 technologies have established effective
supply chain management towards the fulfillment of customized demands in the healthcare
field. In addition, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and 3D printing
have been extensively used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and assist in providing value
added services in the healthcare sector. Henceforth, this paper presents a scientometric analysis
on the literature of aforementioned Industry 4.0 technologies in the context of COVID-19. It
provides extensive insights into co-citation and co-occurrence analysis of high cited publications,
participating countries, influential authors, prolific journals, and keywords using the CiteSpace
tool. The analyses reveal that China has produced the highest research outputs, although India
is the most collaborative country in this field. The current research hotspots include supply
chain, 4D printing, and social distancing technologies. Furthermore, it explores emerging trends,
intellectual structure of publications, research frontiers, and potential research directions for
further work in the Industry 4.0 assisted healthcare domain.
