Abstract
The aim of this study is to propose a framework for non-pharmaceutical antidepressant technology opportunity identification in China, based on patent analysis and assisted decision making. Semantic mining technology was used to divide technology life cycle, classify technology, identify key technology associated opportunities, and identify core technology functions of 532 non-drug antidepressant patent data in China from 1995 to 2021. Combined with co-occurrence and multi-dimensional scale analysis, strategic coordinate maps and technology decision assistance maps were drawn. The development of non-drug antidepressant technology in China was divided into embryonic stage, formative stage, and development stage. Six technical categories, 30 high-frequency technical associated opportunities, and low-frequency and high-frequency core technical opportunities for non-drug antidepressants were summarized. Based on four technical fields and four functional clusters of strategic coordinate graphs, the technical opportunity decision auxiliary atlas was constructed. By comparison, this map is more intuitive than the technology-efficacy matrix, when presenting technology efficiency mapping. This study provides a set of systematic algorithms for opportunity identification and decision assistance based on patent data, in addition to reference for strategic decision making of non-drug antidepressant technology subjects in China.
