“…This may imply that expectations were similar but the services were not well-adapted, which reduced satisfaction with mobile formats. Thus, the problem is about usability: an element that involves users as well as medical professionals, albeit from different perspectives [ 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

In the last decades, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has progressively spread to society and public administration. Health is one of the areas in which the use of ICTs has more intensively developed through what is now known as eHealth. That area has recently included mHealth. Spanish health system has stood out as one of the benchmarks of this technological revolution. The development of ICTs applied to health, especially since the outbreak of the pandemic caused by SARS Cov-2, has increased the range of health services delivered through smartphones and the development of subsequent specialized apps. Based on the data of a Survey on Use and Attitudes regarding eHealth in Spain, the aim of this research was to conduct a comparative analysis of the different eHealth and mHealth user profiles. The results show that the user profile of eHealth an mHealth services in Spain is not in a majority. Weaknesses are detected both in the knowledge and use of eHealth services among the general population and in the usability or development of their mobile version. Smartphones can be a democratizing vector, as for now, access to eHealth services is only available to wealthy people, widening inequality.

“…For example, mobile phones are the most appropriate technological tool because of its wide dissemination among the groups involved. In this sense, it should be noted that there is a whole line of research and development of technologies, the m-health, which is based on mobile devices in health, care, and welfare of people [27]. Specifically, about aging we can highlight the work of the anthropologist Daniel Miller and the research group Anthropology of Smartphones and Smart Ageing.…”

This article proposes an intervention from the field of social sciences to improve the knowledge of informal caregivers about care for the elderly. We analyze the social and cultural relationships that support the informal care culture in Spain. Some of the most important factors that are an obstacle to the professionalization of the sector are presented. The profiles of the informal caregivers are established, highlighting that most of them are women, whether they are family members or not. Furthermore, we find a prominent role of immigrant women in the non-professional care sector. We also analyzed the different relationships that groups related to informal care of the elderly have with technologies, highlighting mobile phones and instant messaging applications. With this result, we proposed the public policies of care for the elderly to contemplate training actions transmitted through the mobile phone and messaging applications.

“…Se ha demostrado la existencia de órdenes matemáticos mediante la ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot en varios fenómenos, como en la distribución de las frecuencias cardíacas fetales recolectadas mediante el monitoreo fetal [7], en los repertorios inmunes B a partir de modelos murinos [8], en los repertorios T contra alergenos como el PoaP9 [9], en los lenguajes [10] e incluso en la distribución de los ingresos en una sociedad, entre otros [11]. Estos ejemplos sugieren que la aplicación de la ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot puede extenderse a describir fenómenos con distribuciones hiperbólicas de otras ciencias, como los sistemas planetarios de la astrofísica, aunado a que anteriormente se ha propuesto el estudio de la luminosidad de las estrellas visibles a simple vista con la ley de Zipf [12].…”

La ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot ha permitido caracterizar fenómenos con una organización hiperbólica en las ciencias biomédicas y los lenguajes naturales, entre otros; sin embargo, su aplicación podría extenderse a estudiar características planetarias. Por tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación consiste en aplicar la ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot para caracterizar el grado de complejidad del período orbital, la velocidad orbital media planetaria y la distancia media al sol de los planetas del sistema solar. Para ello, se tomaron los valores del período orbital, la velocidad orbital media y la distancia media al sol de los planetas del sistema solar para evaluar su distribución hiperbólica. Posteriormente, se aplicó la ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot para calcular la dimensión fractal de ambas variables. Se comprobó que los valores del período orbital, la velocidad orbital y la distancia media planetaria se distribuyen jerárquicamente, lo cual permitió calcular los valores de dimensión fractal, que fueron 0.28, 0.88 y 0.42, con coeficientes R2 de 0.92, 0.87 y 0.92, respectivamente. Lo anterior sugiere que la aplicación de la ley de Zipf/Mandelbrot revela la existencia de órdenes matemáticos no descritos en la cinemática celeste al encontrar un mayor grado de complejidad de la velocidad media orbital con respecto a la distancia media planetaria al sol y el período orbital, de donde se puede inferir que los parámetros de análisis de los sistemas planetarios podrían complementarse con este enfoque.
