TIC como apoyo del soporte social al enfermo crónico y su cuidador : Aproximación al estado del Arte

The current approach is carried out in order to have an overview of the level of inclusion and the participation of ICTs in social support and support for vulnerable populations suffering from chronic diseases. The inclusion was made through a bibliographic review, this being the basis for the collection of data and pertinent information. The argumentative study that was carried out clearly and concisely identified the advantages and disadvantages of the use of ICT in social support from a psychoeducational and engineering point of view. The regions were characterized by the highest concentration of ICT use in the social support literature, based on previously studied content and analyzing the results of this use.
