La Asociaci\u00f3n Mexicana de Internet fundamenta esta afirmaci\u00f3n con datos duros resultantes de su estudio anual. En lo que se refiere al uso de medios digitales, M\u00e9xico alcanza un 71% de penetraci\u00f3n entre la poblaci\u00f3n de personas de 6 a\u00f1os en adelante, con 79.1 millones de usuarios conectados. Esto significa que, aunque a\u00fan existen muchas personas sin acceso directo a internet, la brecha digital se cierra cada vez m\u00e1s. El 67 por ciento de los internautas en M\u00e9xico perciben que se encuentran conectados a internet las 24hrs. Aunque esto no es preciso, pues hay ciertos momentos en los que el uso disminuye considerablemente como cuando se duerme o se trabaja; el sentimiento de los usuarios es que siempre pueden acudir a las redes para entretenerse, asesorarse, o incluso atenderse. En 2019 los usuarios de internet en M\u00e9xico pasan diariamente 8 horas con 20 minutos, ocho minutos m\u00e1s que en 2018. Esto demuestra que, a pesar de no estar conectados el d\u00eda completo, la impresi\u00f3n de siempre estar en la red representa que al menos se consume un tercio del d\u00eda en la web. Este dato sumado a las nuevas aplicaciones m\u00e9dicas que se desarrollan cada d\u00eda nos dice que la tecnolog\u00eda, y en espec\u00edfico el internet, abre una puerta al amplio desarrollo de la Salud Digital. Un dato especialmente interesante para el Sector Salud es que, en 2019, 29 por ciento de las personas entrevistadas por la Asociaci\u00f3n de Internet en M\u00e9xico reconocieron los wearables como una herramienta existente y \u00fatil para sus necesidades m\u00e9dicas. Muchos de los avances dentro de plataformas de salud digital se basan en el componente del paciente como pieza central del cuidado de su propia salud a trav\u00e9s de la telemedicina. Por otro lado, las redes sociales permanecen como la principal actividad en l\u00ednea por el p\u00fablico general en M\u00e9xico, as\u00ed que las instituciones m\u00e9dicas comienzan a explorar canales como el chat o la transmisi\u00f3n en vivo para acceder a usuarios que, f\u00edsicamente, podr\u00edan no tener la posibilidad de atenderse en un hospital debido a su situaci\u00f3n geogr\u00e1fica. Respecto al perfil de los internautas en M\u00e9xico, el segmento de nivel socioecon\u00f3mico bajo mantiene un crecimiento de 5% en los \u00faltimos 2 a\u00f1os. Esto nos dice que la digitalizaci\u00f3n nacional, aunque lenta, va en un rumbo de alcanzar a un mayor sector de la poblaci\u00f3n. Esto, aunado al costo de un smartphone, el cual es cada vez m\u00e1s bajo, deja claro que es importante explotar las posibilidades de las consultas a distancia para que las poblaciones marginadas tengan un acceso r\u00e1pido y seguro a expertos m\u00e9dicos. La Salud Digital avanza por los esfuerzos tanto del sector p\u00fablico como de la misma iniciativa privada, pero una pieza central de este desarrollo es la tendencia digital que cambia la cara de la medicina en M\u00e9xico, Am\u00e9rica Latina y el mundo d\u00eda con d\u00eda.
