9th edition
Conducted since 2013 by Cetic.br, a department of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br) linked to the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), TIC Health aims to map ICT infrastructure and the adoption of information and communication technology-based systems and applications in health facilities. The study also measures the appropriation of these technologies by medical and nursing professionals.

“Highlights of the 9th edition include information on the use of digital health by doctors and nurses, presenting a comparison between the years 2019 and 2022, that is, between the pre- and post-pandemic periods. The survey identified growth in the adoption of technologies by these professionals,” summarizes Alexandre Barbosa, manager of Cetic.br.

Before being presented to the press at the end of last year, the results of the most recent edition of the study were released at the Brazilian Congress of Health Informatics (CBIS 2022), which took place between November and December of that year.
