La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha emergido como una de las herramientas más prometedoras en la transformación del sector salud, ofreciendo soluciones innovadoras que apoyan el diagnóstico, así como guiar el tratamiento y rehabilitación de los pacientes.[1] En términos generales, la IA se refiere a sistemas computacionales capaces de realizar tareas que normalmente requieren inteligencia humana, como el reconocimiento de patrones, el aprendizaje a partir de datos y la toma de decisiones.[2] Dentro del ámbito de la salud, su impacto ha sido significativo en áreas como la radiología, la cirugía robótica y la optimización de flujos de trabajo en hospitales.
