educación digital, gestión de la información sanitaria, interdisciplinariedad, tecnologías emergentes, equidad en el accesoAbstract
The intersection between digital education and health information management has gained relevance in recent years, driven by rapid technological evolution and global challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study, based on a scoping review and thematic analysis of literature published between 2018 and 2022, identifies key trends, gaps, and opportunities in both fields. In digital education, advances such as the personalization of learning through artificial intelligence stand out, but also challenges such as the digital divide and the lack of teacher training. In health information management, the implementation of electronic medical records improved efficiency, although concerns about privacy and security persist. Interdisciplinarity emerged as an essential approach to developing comprehensive solutions, integrating perspectives from administration, informatics, pedagogy, and public health. Significant gaps were identified, such as the lack of studies in low-resource contexts and the need for inclusive public policies. Emerging technologies, such as blockchain, offer transformative opportunities, but require careful management to avoid risks. This analysis underlines the importance of interdisciplinary and equitable approaches to maximize the benefits of digitalization in education and health.
