Resumen

- Anemia, a global concern, is linked to health problems, especially in Mexico and Peru. Early detection and treatment are critical to preventing complications and improving quality of life. Using Scopus, a systematic review focused on key terms such as “anemia” and “device” was conducted. The Scoping Review approach explored trends and gaps in diagnostic methods and devices, identifying 4,329 papers from 2003 to the present. Geographic distribution revealed disparities in the global representation of research. The Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School stood out in affiliations, while Mehran, R. and Passias, P.G. were prominent authors. Original research in articles was prominent, with a decline observed in 2023 based on time trends. Key terms such as “anemia,” “patients,” and “methods” highlighted crucial areas of research. In conclusion, the systematic reading and analysis of the articles highlight the need to improve the filtering stage in the methodology. There is a consensus on the creation of a Point of Care (POC) device to measure anemia, with long-lasting quality and backed by an exemplary gold standard. These findings point to a future direction in research focused on innovations to address anemia globally.
