다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives: Digital health (DH) is a revolution driven by digital technologies to improve health. Despite the importance ofDH, curricular updates in healthcare university programs are scarce, and DH remains undervalued. Therefore, this reportdescribes the first Junior Scientific Committee (JSC) focusing on DH at a nationwide congress, with the aim of affirming itsimportance for promoting DH in universities. Methods: The scientific committee of the Brazilian Congress of Health Informatics(CBIS) extended invitations to students engaged in health-related fields, who were tasked with organizing a warm-upevent and a 4-hour session at CBIS. Additionally, they were encouraged to take an active role in a workshop alongside distinguishedexperts to map out the current state of DH in Brazil. Results: The warm-up event focused on the topic “Artificialintelligence in healthcare: is a new concept of health about to arise?” and featured remote discussions by three professionalsfrom diverse disciplines. At CBIS, the JSC’s inaugural presentation concentrated on delineating the present state of DH educationin Brazil, while the second presentation offered strategies to advance DH, incorporating viewpoints from within andbeyond the academic sphere. During the workshop, participants deliberated on the most crucial competencies for future professionalsin the DH domain. Conclusions: Forming a JSC proved to be a valuable tool to foster DH, particularly due to thevaluable interactions it facilitated between esteemed professionals and students. It also supports the cultivation of leadershipskills in DH, a field that has not yet received the recognition it deserves.
