This study identifies the technology structure of the digital healthcare field using patent data and compares the characteristics between techniques in the technical structure analysis. 2,064 patents obtained from USPTO, and analyzed by LDA to extract 15 technology topics, and documents classified as Doc2vec performed 15 technology groups through Spherical K-means clustering. As a result, LDA derived component technology of digital healthcare such as implantable medical devices, but Doc2ve-based clustering was confirmed promising technology of digital healthcare, including blockchain, telehealth service. This study are expected to be useful for establishing technology strategies and commercializing technologies for digital healthcare companies in the future.
