Summary:

Health communication is conceptualized as the art and technique of informing, influencing, and motivating individual, institutional, and collective audiences on issues related to health education. It includes the promotion of health, disease prevention, health care, resource management, and improvement of the quality of life of people within their communities. This type of communication is recognized as a necessary element in efforts to improve public and personal health.

Likewise, health communication can contribute to all aspects of disease prevention, including doctor-patient relationships, individual adherence to clinical recommendations and therapeutic regimens, the construction of public health messages and campaigns in conjunction with the dissemination of information concerning risks to individuals and populations, or preventive communication.

For some time there has been considerable international debate regarding the potential that ICTs offer to achieve a greater impact on the development of the health and social well-being of populations. For the WHO, the use of ICTs in health is seen as a means to achieve a series of objectives of the system, defining ICTs in the field of health as tools that facilitate communication and the process of transmission of information through media. electronics, with the purpose of improving the well-being of individuals.

The foregoing has been demonstrated with the impact of health technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming the main channel of communication between people, governments and health institutions. In this topic we are interested in reflecting on the challenges that information technologies present, as well as the inclusion of those who lack connectivity or knowledge about ICTs.
