Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medicine and technological advances often go hand in hand, which has allowed this industry to be transformed through technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, or the Internet of Things. Information and communications technologies have integrated into the field of health. Clinical practice revolves around data, information, and knowledge. The Internet is the largest source of health information for professionals and patients because the Internet and hypermedia/multimedia technologies allow interactive communication in real time. In addition, technology is essential in medicine because of the development of these tools and their benefits, such as increased accessibility to medical care or life expectancy and quality of life for people. The development of corporate-type digital communications network infrastructures and widespread access to the Internet allow the flow of information between all parties, through using electronic medical records in a secure environment, improving the quality of services, and facilitating more efficient management and comfort for citizens. System-generated databases store vast amounts of information used for medical research, and with vast patient histories, scientists can better study disease trends and causes to generate predictive models.
