La Salud Digital es el concepto que incorpora las tecnolog\u00edas de informaci\u00f3n y la comunicaci\u00f3n (TIC) a productos, servicios y procesos de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, as\u00ed como a las organizaciones o instituciones que pueden mejorar la salud y el bienestar de los ciudadanos. Puede abarcar distintos dispositivos port\u00e1tiles, sensores, aplicaciones m\u00f3viles de salud, inteligencia artificial, cuidadores rob\u00f3ticos y hasta registros electr\u00f3nicos. Los sistemas de salud han experimentado distintas transformaciones y reformas, entre ellas, legales, administrativas y financieras. Estas modificaciones, si bien relevantes y necesarias, han tenido un efecto positivo en garantizar que el ciudadano cuente con un acceso efectivo a un paquete m\u00ednimo de intervenciones en salud y permitir reducir la desigualdad existente. (1) Por lo tanto, es indispensable una reforma en salud centrada en las personas que privilegie: Prevenci\u00f3n proactiva con detecci\u00f3n de riesgos. Atenci\u00f3n efectiva y con calidad. Seguimiento personalizado. As\u00ed tambi\u00e9n, la cuarta revoluci\u00f3n industrial tiene efectos en la modernizaci\u00f3n de los sistemas de salud, abriendo espacio para la Salud Digital, tomando en cuenta las siguientes categor\u00edas: Avance de la ciencia: apoyada con el conjunto de conocimientos te\u00f3ricos y pr\u00e1cticos que permitan la migraci\u00f3n de lo f\u00edsico a lo digital. Uso de Plataformas Digitales: para argumentar una red que resguarde la informaci\u00f3n almacenada y seguir monitoreando, vigilando y proponiendo avances. El mundo de las cosas: donde los paradigmas de intercambio de datos dar\u00e1n pie a una conexi\u00f3n de alta velocidad entre sistemas y personas. Comunidades conectadas: que disminuyen la brecha digital que separa a diferentes segmentos de la poblaci\u00f3n mundial y los integra en un \u00e1mbito en el que todos puedan gozar de herramientas en beneficio a su salud. Big Data: empleada en t\u00e9cnicas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) que permita advenir la autonom\u00eda de las m\u00e1quinas al hacerlas capaz de resolver cualquier situaci\u00f3n con base en algoritmos y el aprendizaje profundo (o Deep Learning). La importancia de la Salud Digital converge en la idea de prevenir enfermedades, ayudar a los pacientes a monitorear y manejar enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas, reducir el costo de la provisi\u00f3n de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y hacer que los medicamentos se adapten m\u00e1s a las necesidades individuales.\u00a0 Un ejemplo de lo anterior, es que, al recopilar m\u00e1s datos sobre marcadores de salud &#8211; desde el nivel de actividad hasta la presi\u00f3n arterial de un paciente- se espera que la Salud Digital permita mejorar la calidad del estilo de vida y mantener una buena salud por m\u00e1s tiempo, y, por ende, generar menos visitas al doctor mediante herramientas que le permitan a los doctores intervenir, conocer m\u00e1s sobre una enfermedad espec\u00edfica y el monitoreo de \u00e9sta constantemente.
