摘要：

The healthcare system in Latin America (LATAM) has made significant improvements. It still faces significant challenges, including poor access to healthcare services, insufficient resources, and inequalities in health that may lead to decreased life expectancy, lower quality of life, and poor economic growth. Digital Healthcare (DH) enables the convergence of innovative technology with recent advances in neuroscience, medicine, and public healthcare policy. In this article, researchers discuss key DH efforts that can help address some of the challenges of the healthcare system in LATAM focusing on two countries: Brazil and Mexico. The researchers have chosen to study DH in the context of Brazil and Mexico as both countries are good representatives of the situation of the healthcare system in LA TAM and face similar challenges along with other LATAM countries.
