La AIMX, se especializa en la investigaci\u00f3n h\u00e1bitos digitales y an\u00e1lisis de an\u00e1lisis h\u00e1bitos en internet en M\u00e9xico. Esta vez publicaron el primer estudio sobre los H\u00e1bitos de los M\u00e9dicos en Internet en M\u00e9xico. El estudio busc\u00f3 conocer el uso que los m\u00e9dicos y m\u00e9dicas le dan al internet dentro de su pr\u00e1ctica diaria, as\u00ed como las preferencias sobre su uso, motivadores. De igual forma analizaron los diferentes segmentos de m\u00e9dicos por sector, ya sea privado o p\u00fablico, regi\u00f3n, rango de edad, entre otros datos. El estudio realizado entre diciembre de 2020 y enero de 2021, mostr\u00f3 que el 85% de los m\u00e9dicos utilizan Internet de manera personal y\/o en la pr\u00e1ctica cl\u00ednica. &nbsp;De los cuales 35% son mujeres y 65% son hombres. En cuanto a los rangos de edad, el grupo m\u00e1s grande de m\u00e9dicos en Internet corresponde a 55 a 64 a\u00f1os con el 28% del total, seguido de 33 a 44 a\u00f1os con 25% y 45 a 54 con 23%. Por otra parte, en relaci\u00f3n con las zonas y regiones geogr\u00e1ficas de M\u00e9xico, la zona Centro sur (Guanajuato, Quer\u00e9taro, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potos\u00ed y Zacatecas), concentra el 28% del uso de Internet por parte de m\u00e9dicos, seguido por el Noreste (Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Baja California, Sonora, Durango y Baja California Sur). La pr\u00e1ctica privada, cuenta con el 47% de los m\u00e9dicos conectados. Dentro de la pr\u00e1ctica p\u00fablica, la Secretar\u00eda de Salud concentra el 40% de los m\u00e9dicos usuarios de internet y por la pr\u00e1ctica privada, los consultorios particulares llevan la delantera con el 41% de los usuarios. Otras estad\u00edsticas importantes que destacaron en el estudio fueron que el 62% de los m\u00e9dicos conectados en M\u00e9xico cuentan con especialidad, y el crecimiento de la telemedicina que ya representa el 16% de las atenciones en hospitales privados. H\u00e1bitos digitales En cuanto a los dispositivos utilizados dentro de la pr\u00e1ctica m\u00e9dica, PC y Laptop son los m\u00e1s utilizados, sin embargo, los asistentes virtuales toman fuerza. En cuanto a los h\u00e1bitos de consumo de contenido, la mayor\u00eda de los m\u00e9dicos utilizan internet para leer, ver o escuchar contenido relevante, busca informaci\u00f3n para prescribir, enviar y recibir mensajes instant\u00e1neos, cursos en l\u00ednea, b\u00fasqueda de nuevos productos, redes sociales, o aplicaciones m\u00e9dicas digitales. Las tres plataformas sociales m\u00e1s utilizadas por parte de los m\u00e9dicos mexicanos son WhatsApp, con el 90%, Facebook con 64% y YouTube con 47%. As\u00ed mismo, las tres p\u00e1ginas web especializadas m\u00e1s visitadas con PLM, con 71%, Vademecum con 66% y Medline\/Pubmed con 65%. Salud Digital Las consultas virtuales generalmente (90%), se han utilizado para realizar un ajuste en el tratamiento, como la dosis o la frecuencia, para realizar diagn\u00f3sticos nuevos solamente se ha utilizado por el 30% del m\u00e9dico que han utilizado la telemedicina. La principal barrera de las consultas virtuales, recae en la necesidad de ver al paciente f\u00edsicamente. La infraestructura y la decisi\u00f3n del paciente de no aceptar una consulta virtual si son barreras, sin embargo, est\u00e1n lejos de ser las principales. El 61% de los m\u00e9dicos cuenta con expediente cl\u00ednico electr\u00f3nico, de los cuales el 73% cuenta con un sistema que ha sido desarrollado especialmente para su hospital, lo que podr\u00eda transformarse en un reto para la interoperabilidad de los sistemas.
