Sus beneficios m\u00e1s tangibles est\u00e1n en el diagn\u00f3stico, control de enfermedades, y en la gesti\u00f3n r\u00e1pida de informaci\u00f3n. En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os han surgido diversas iniciativas para incorporar el Internet de las Cosas en la prestaci\u00f3n de servicios de salud. Hasta ahora, la mayor\u00eda giraban en torno a la mejora de la atenci\u00f3n como tal, con la monitorizaci\u00f3n de algunos marcadores y el seguimiento de casos complicados desde el hogar. Sin embargo, estos despliegues y casos de uso han sido s\u00f3lo el inicio. Comienzan a utilizarse enfoques m\u00e1s avanzados e integrados en el \u00e1mbito de la transformaci\u00f3n digital de los sistemas de salud con respecto a los aspectos de los datos de salud donde el IoT desempe\u00f1a un papel cada vez m\u00e1s importante. Con la ayuda de los objetos conectados en un ecosistema de salud, el trabajo del personal de salud puede ser mucho m\u00e1s inmediato y preciso, adem\u00e1s de facilitar la gesti\u00f3n de los centros hospitalarios, o bien incluso de las unidades de salud que brindan atenci\u00f3n primaria, y mejorar con ello el bienestar del paciente. El espectro m\u00e9dico en el que el IoT puede entrar es vasto; es un ecosistema tan grande que comienza a incluir las nuevas tecnolog\u00edas para el automonitoreo, la industria farmac\u00e9utica, el seguro de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, construcci\u00f3n de edificios o instalaciones que posteriormente brindar\u00e1n atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, rob\u00f3tica, biosensores, camas inteligentes, p\u00edldoras inteligentes y telemedicina, entre otros. Es un hecho que al incluir esta modalidad de tecnolog\u00eda se pueden alcanzar acciones que aminoren las posibles desatenciones latentes en las unidades de salud. Por ejemplo, existen camas inteligentes capaces de auto monitorearse y avisar en cuanto se desocupen, alternando tambi\u00e9n, regular la presi\u00f3n y la posici\u00f3n del paciente para ahorrar tiempo y que el personal de salud tenga la disponibilidad de centrarse en todos los usuarios de igual manera. Por supuesto, la entrada del IoT al sector salud no llega sin retos. La informaci\u00f3n del estado de salud de los pacientes es delicada, y se requiere que los sensores sean precisos, y los algoritmos que los interpreten bien calibrados. Al mismo tiempo, se debe asegurar a los pacientes que su informaci\u00f3n privada no resultar\u00e1 compartida o publicada por ning\u00fan motivo sin su consentimiento. Otro reto importante al que se enfrenta el uso el IoT en la medicina es la brecha econ\u00f3mica que ocurre en Am\u00e9rica Latina. Para explotar el potencial de las nuevas tecnolog\u00edas en su totalidad, el uso de smartphones y wearables es esencial, pero el acceso a estos dispositivos no es universal. Como respuesta a esta problem\u00e1tica los gobiernos de pa\u00edses como Argentina, Per\u00fa, Chile y Brasil han iniciado acuerdos con la iniciativa privada para lograr la democratizaci\u00f3n del uso de dispositivos m\u00f3viles mediante tarifas subvencionadas y costos reducidos. A trav\u00e9s de estos esfuerzos se busca iniciar un proyecto a largo plazo que conecte a los servicios m\u00e9dicos de Am\u00e9rica Latina con sus pacientes de una manera \u00fatil, permanente y que utilice la Salud Digital con todos sus desarrollos para asegurar un mejor futuro m\u00e9dico para la poblaci\u00f3n.
