Abstract
Technological innovation has become central to transforming public health, introducing tools that revolutionize disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This study aims to address innovations such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and wearable devices, highlighting their transformative impacts in terms of clinical efficacy, accessibility, quality of life, and cost reduction. Telemedicine can increase access to healthcare by up to 60% in remote areas and reduce diagnostic errors by up to 50% with the use of AI. Wearable devices are adopted by more than 20% of adults in the USA. Methodologically, a descriptive literature review was conducted, resulting in 210 selected studies, of which 10 were analyzed in detail. The results highlight significant improvements in accessibility, quality of life, and cost reduction. It is concluded that the continued development and implementation of these technologies is essential to address future public health challenges.
