Numerous technological advances have revolutionized the way we take care of health and treat diseases. The increasingly pervasive presence of technology in our daily lives can enable simple and dynamic solutions to prevent injuries and monitor health care, making these resources increasingly more timely, efficient and accessible to a large number of people. The university is expected to fulfill its leading role in science, but not to distance itself from the humanistic training of the next generation of health professionals and the like, who are dedicated to taking care of life. Immense are the challenges arising from the socioeconomic inequities of contemporary society, which impact on the quality of life and the universal right of the human being to a healthy life. The burden of disease, preventable death, or sequelae is strongly felt by the poorest, the low-income, especially in countries with fragile and poorly resilient health systems. In this volume of the International Journal in Portuguese Language (RILP), dedicated to the life sciences and health, we show that the universities of the of Portuguese official language have a prominent role in raising questions that call for solutions and injuries to human health, but also in proposing and testing technological innovations to mitigate such problems.
