Abstract
With the national strategy of “Healthy China 2030”, China attempts to move from “disease-centered” care to “big health”, aiming to promote people’s health in an all-round way. National layout and local responses are key elements of realising the “big health” concept. This paper presents an exploration of the spatial-temporal distribution and cross-impact of policies, news reports and patents associated with “big health” at both national and local levels. A bibliometric analysis was carried out with data divided into three themes: disease prevention, disease cure, and health preservation. These data were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and People’s Database. The results show that local governments respond to national policies on “big health” rapidly and positively, and the local news reports on “big health” promptly following the central news. The change speed and range of patent output are different in the three themes of “big health”. In the early and all-round development periods of “big health”, national policies affect future trends and current changes of patents respectively, while local policies all affect patent output.
