Resumen:

Nowadays, digital technologies are transforming the health sector around the world, and the use of digital technology in healthcare is constantly increasing. Digital health is an emerging field of study at the intersection of healthcare and digital technologies, with high impact in the last decade; however, the concept of digital health continues to evolve. Digital health technologies are now being applied more widely within medicine to improve diagnosis, treatment, clinical decision support, care management, and care delivery. Due to the growing increase in the population, the increase in life expectancy, aging, and chronic diseases have had an economic impact with respect to medical care, and due to this reason, the medical care system has led to carry out a transformation from the traditional hospital-centered system to an individual-centered system. It is expected that as demand and technological improvements arise, the expansion of these devices will have a significant impact on daily life, being able to solve all current limitations and allowing a new interpretation and management mode of the health of its users to be obtained. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
