From Patterns to Policy: A Scoping Review Based on Bibliometric Analysis (ScoRBA) of Intelligent and Secure Smart Hospital Ecosystems

Abstract

This study examines the evolution of Intelligent and Secure Smart Hospital Ecosystems using a Scoping Review with Bibliometric Analysis (ScoRBA) to map research patterns, identify gaps, and derive policy implications. Analyzing 891 journal articles from Scopus (2006-2025) through co-occurrence analysis, network visualization, overlay analysis, and the Enhanced Strategic Diagram (ESD), the study applies the PAGER framework to link Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Research directions, and Evidence-based policy implications. Findings reveal three interrelated clusters: AI-driven intelligent healthcare systems, decentralized privacy-preserving digital health ecosystems, and scalable cloud-edge infrastructures, showing a convergence toward integrated ecosystem architectures where intelligence, trust, and infrastructure reinforce each other. Despite progress in AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, gaps remain in interoperability, real-world implementation, governance, and cross-layer integration. Emerging themes such as explainable AI, federated learning, and privacy mechanisms highlight areas needing further research. Policy-relevant recommendations focus on coordinated governance, scalable infrastructure, and secure data ecosystems, particularly for developing country contexts. The study bridges bibliometric evidence with actionable policies, supporting informed decision-making in smart hospital development.

Only what exists can cause: An intrinsic powers view of free will

This essay addresses the implications of integrated information theory (IIT) for free will. IIT is a theory of what consciousness is and of how its presence and quality can be accounted for in physical terms. According to IIT, the presence of consciousness is accounted for by a maximum of cause-effect power in the brain. Moreover, the way an experience feels is accounted for by how that cause-effect power is structured. If IIT is right, we do have free will in a genuine sense: we have alternatives, reasons, and values, we make decisions, and we-not our neurons or atoms-are the cause of our willed actions and bear responsibility for them. IIT's argument for genuine free will hinges on the proper understanding of consciousness as intrinsic existence, captured by its intrinsic powers ontology: what exists absolutely, in physical terms, are intrinsic entities, and only what exists can cause.

Seeing the imagined: latent functional alignment in visual imagery decoding from fMRI data

Recent progress in visual brain decoding from fMRI has been enabled by large-scale datasets such as the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) and powerful diffusion-based generative models. While current pipelines are primarily optimized for perception, their performance under mental-imagery remains less well understood. In this work, we study how a state-of-the-art (SOTA) perception decoder (DynaDiff) can be adapted to reconstruct imagined content from the NSD-Imagery benchmark. We propose a latent functional alignment (LFA) approach that maps imagery-evoked activity to the pretrained model's semantic content-enriched conditioning space, by adding a simple alignment module, while keeping the original remaining components frozen. To mitigate the limited amount of matched imagery-perception supervision, we further introduce a neural retrieval-based augmentation strategy that selects semantically related NSD perception trials from the same participants. Across four subjects, LFA consistently improves high-level semantic reconstruction metrics relative to the frozen pretrained baseline and a voxel-space ridge alignment baseline, and enables above-chance decoding from multiple cortical regions. These results suggest that semantic structure learned from perception can be leveraged to stabilize and improve visual imagery decoding under out-of-distribution conditions.

Deep Learning in Infant Functional Neuroimaging: Challenges, Advances, and Future Directions

Infancy is a critical developmental window characterized by rapid functional brain reorganization, during which large-scale networks emerge, individualized connectome signatures continue to form, and early deviations may shape long-term cognitive and clinical outcomes. Functional MRI (fMRI) offers an opportunity to study these processes in vivo, yet extracting developmentally meaningful information from it remains challenging due to comparatively short scan duration, structured motion artifacts, variable scan states, and rapid brain maturation. Amid these challenges, deep learning has expanded the capacity of computational neuroimaging by learning robust representations from noisy, high-dimensional data, integrating complex spatial and temporal information, and capturing the nonlinear and rapidly evolving organization of the developing brain. Here, we review recent advances in deep learning for infant functional neuroimaging, synthesizing progress across input representation formatting, population and individualized brain mapping, longitudinal trajectory forecasting, robust and explainable model evaluation, and biological translation. Collectively, these methodological advances mark a paradigm shift in infant functional neuroimaging from descriptive, group-level analyses toward reliable, individualized, and developmentally grounded models. Future progress will depend on larger and more diverse longitudinal datasets, developmentally appropriate model designs, rigorous and standardized evaluation, and integration of computational predictions with biological mechanisms towards clinically meaningful outcomes. Addressing these priorities will help establish deep learning as a robust framework for understanding early functional brain development, identifying developmental variation at the individual level, and ultimately supporting earlier and precise assessment of neurodevelopmental risk.
