In recent years, the healthcare information system based on big data has been growing rapidly and is being adapted to medical information to derive important health trends and support timely preventive care. This study analyzes patents to grasp the latest technological trends and core competencies in the digital healthcare field in Korea, by identifying which fields have numerous patent applications, and which fields have few patent applications. The technology classification system for patent analysis is divided into health information measurement technology (A), healthcare platform technology (B), and healthcare teleservice technology (C) for digital healthcare. Korea is confirmed to have high patented technology in the field of biometric measurement technology and health information building, sharing, and utilization technology. In the field of life information pattern measurement technology, the patent activity rate is high, while the market retention rate is very low. As a result of OS Matrix analysis, in the field of Korean healthcare, technology development using wearable devices or toilet seats for identification, diagnosis, and treatment of users, and patient pattern analysis using big data were found to be areas with relatively low concentration of R&D or patent applications. And it seems that there is a need for technology development and patent application in these fields in the future.
