Abstract

There are two relevant focuses of attention that can generate spaces of inequality and discrimination in the population with disabilities in the area of health care technologies: i) those related to specific support needs, and ii) those related to the accessibility of devices. Recent scientific articles dealing with telemedicine, e-health or m-health, pay little attention to the population with disabilities, which indicates the need for research and, in general, scientific production in this field. People with disabilities should be a priority objective in plans for technological applications for health care, not only in demographic terms, but also based on the specificity of the present demand for health care and because the response of the system, as designed, is overly focused on acute hospital care to the exclusion of community-based and preventative care. If the developments of telemedicine systems inherit the ableist conception of current health systems, they run the risk of replicating their weaknesses.
