General Data Protection Regulation came into effect across the European Union in May 2018 but its implications in healthcare are yet to be fully understood. The aim of this study was to identify the fronts and hot topics in research on GDPR in healthcare. We analyzed the relevant records in Scopus through bibliometric and scientometric approach and visualization techniques. A set of 155 records was obtained and processed for co-occurrence analysis of key terms and concept mapping. The number of published papers showed a steep rise in the past two years, mainly by European countries. Analysis of the abstract of the papers showed that data protection, privacy, and big data were the most frequently used terms. Three dominant research fronts of GDPR are 1) general implications of GDPR, 2) technology aspects of GDPR, and 3) GDPR in healthcare service. Blockchain and machine learning are among the remerging topics of GDPR research.
