Abstract

This monograph explores how innovation is transforming health and healthcare, focusing on the improvement of healthcare professionals' training, the gender approach, artificial intelligence, and workers' health. It highlights the importance of integrating the humanities into the education of healthcare workers to improve patient communication and human-centered care. Additionally, AI is revolutionizing diagnostics and treatments, optimizing resources, and enhancing health communication. The monograph also addresses the impact of misinformation and the need for innovative strategies in training and disease prevention in the workplace. It further explores research on chronic diseases and personalized treatments. Bioethics, especially in crisis situations, is another key topic. The monograph invites contributions that improve efficiency and equity in access to healthcare services.
