Information generally openly accessible to the public on the Internet, which has led to an interest in the development of digital public health surveillance systems.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Internet use has been increasing steadily over the past 20 years. In the United States in 2000 52% of adults use the internet, and in 2019 90%. The use of social networking and internet social platforms has increased significantly worldwide, in just four years users increased from having an average of 6.2 social networking profiles in 2015 to 8 in 2019<\/p>

\u201cThe low-cost data stream available on social media and other Internet-based sources is increasingly harnessed by clinicians, patients, and the general public to disseminate insights into disease trends and promote healthy lifestyles and health policies\u201d, the authors explain in the article's introduction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Canadian medical researchers published the article, \u201cDigital public health surveillance: a systematic scoping review,\u201d in Nature. A systematic scoping review according to the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews, on digital public health surveillance systems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

They used natural language processing and content analysis to analyze and define search strings in Global Health, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The searches represented data from 2005 to 2020. \"Seven hundred and fifty-five articles were included in this review. The studies were from 54 countries and used 26 digital platforms to study 208 subcategories of 49 categories associated with 16 public health surveillance topics,\" the authors explain.<\/p>

Fifty-six percent of the studies were conducted in the United States and related to topics such as communicable diseases or behavioral risk factors.<\/p>

However, the results showed that, despite the rise of the Internet globally, it was not represented in published studies on digital public health surveillance systems. Few papers studied the demographics of internet users when developing such a system, although studies related to social networks and messaging platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) were found.<\/p>

\u201cOur findings show a higher prevalence of digital surveillance systems for communicable diseases (25%, 187). One possible reason for this is that topics such as seasonal outbreaks and epidemics, sexually transmitted and infectious diseases, can be coalesced in this category, making it a far-reaching one,\u201d the authors explained.<\/p>

La informaci\u00f3n generalmente abiertamente accesible para el p\u00fablico en Internet, lo que ha propiciado un inter\u00e9s en el desarrollo de sistemas digitales de la vigilancia de la salud p\u00fablica. El uso de internet ha aumentado sostenidamente durante los \u00faltimos 20 a\u00f1os. En Estados Unidos en el a\u00f1o 2000 un 52% de los adultos utilizan internet, y en 2019 el 90%. El uso de redes y plataformas sociales de Internet ha aumentado significativamente en todo el mundo, en apenas cuatro a\u00f1os los usuarios aumentaron de tener un promedio de 6.2 perfiles de redes sociales en 2015 a 8 en 2019. “Los m\u00e9dicos, los pacientes y el p\u00fablico en general aprovechan cada vez m\u00e1s el flujo de datos de bajo costo disponible en las redes sociales y otras fuentes de Internet para difundir conocimientos sobre las tendencias de las enfermedades y promover estilos de vida saludables y pol\u00edticas de salud”, explican los autores en la introducci\u00f3n del art\u00edculo. Investigadores m\u00e9dicos canadienses publicaron en Nature el art\u00edculo: “Vigilancia digital de la salud p\u00fablica: una revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica del alcance”. Una revisi\u00f3n de alcance sistem\u00e1tica de acuerdo a la extensi\u00f3n PRISMA para revisiones de alcance, sobre los sistemas digitales de vigilancia de la salud p\u00fablica. Para ello utilizaron el procesamiento del lenguaje natural y an\u00e1lisis de contenido para analizar y definir las cadenas de b\u00fasqueda en Global Health, Web of Science, PubMed y Google Scholar. Las b\u00fasquedas representaron datos desde el 2005 hasta el 2020. “En esta revisi\u00f3n se incluyeron setecientos cincuenta y cinco art\u00edculos. Los estudios fueron de 54 pa\u00edses y utilizaron 26 plataformas digitales para estudiar 208 subcategor\u00edas de 49 categor\u00edas asociadas con 16 temas de vigilancia de la salud p\u00fablica”, explican los autores. El 56% de los estudios fueron realizados en Estados Unidos y relacionados a temas como enfermedades transmisibles o a factores de riesgo conductuales. \u201cNuestros hallazgos muestran una mayor prevalencia de sistemas de vigilancia digital para enfermedades transmisibles (25%, 187). Una posible raz\u00f3n de esto es que temas como los brotes y epidemias estacionales, las enfermedades infecciosas y de transmisi\u00f3n sexual pueden combinarse en esta categor\u00eda, lo que la convierte en una categor\u00eda de gran alcance\u201d, explicaron los autores. Sin embargo, los resultados mostraron que, a pesar del auge del internet a nivel global, este no fue representado en los estudios publicados sobre sistemas digitales de vigilancia de la salud p\u00fablica. Pocos trabajos estudiaron la demograf\u00eda de los usuarios de internet al desarrollar un sistema de este tipo, a pesar de que fueron encontrados estudios relacionados a redes sociales y plataformas de mensajer\u00eda (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Twitter, etc.).
