Abstract

Education 4.0 is revolutionizing health education with technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, telehealth, and social networks. Curricular and pedagogical adaptation is required to train competent professionals in these areas. Improving the quality of education involves overcoming difficulties in the implementation, guaranteeing equal access to digital technologies, and promoting flexible learning. Preparing health professionals to make use of these tools, analyze data, and optimize health care is essential for the future of the sector by integrating these innovations into the training of human resources in health.
