Abstract
Introduction Artificial intelligence, digital health, telemedicine, portable sensors, virtual reality - these new technologies will completely change the way patients and doctors perceive healthcare. The coronavirus pandemic has caused an explosive increase in the need for digital services, including those related to health and medicine. Objective: This review is to examine the interaction between telemedicine, digital health and the possibility of introducing new technologies to respond to and address the epidemic of COVID-19 Source of information: Searched in the databases of Google, Google Scholar, Medscape, Medline, Linkedin, Twitter by keywords: telemedicine, digital health, artificial intelligence, COVID-19 Conclusion: The new epidemic situation caused by COVID-19 is already further catalyzing the faster application of telemedicine, digital health in most medical specialties and activities. We reviewed and systematized the new trends in telemedicine caused by the COVID-19 epidemic.
期刊介绍:
Medicina Social es un foro académico internacional con acceso abierto y revisión por pares destinado a la promoción y el desarrollo de la Medicina Social. La revista se escribe con la inventiva y la visión crítica y comprometida que animó a los fundadores de la Medicina Social. Para lograr esto: 1. Actuamos como foro de investigación y docencia respecto a las formas en las que los factores sociales no sólo influyen sobre la salud y la enfermedad sino que a su vez son modificados por las mismas. 2. Apoyamos los objetivos de Salud para Todos de Alma Ata y la visión holística de la salud contenida en la Carta de la OMS. 3. Producimos materiales científicamente calificados, intelectualmente honestos, libres de sesgos comerciales, claramente escritos y presentados. 4. Organizamos la revista de manera tal que refleje y apoye la diversa comunidad internacional que trabaja en el campo de la medicina social. Para realizar los objetivos de “Salud para Todos” debemos tener una revista que incluya todas las voces.
