Sumario:The article discusses the problem of the use of new technologies in healthcare. The right to privacy and intimacy of users must be observed in order to preserve the constitutionality of the application of available Artificial Intelligence instruments, as a tool to optimize access to health, with the minimum sacrifice of other fundamental rights, based on the idea of weighting. In view of the changes in healthcare archetypes, the peak of which occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic, various electronic devices have been put into operation as facilitators for monitoring activities related to dealing with illnesses and promoting well-being. However, the application of these innovative technological models must be viewed with caution, under penalty of infringing fundamental rights. Through exploratory and bibliographical research, the article analyzes technologies aimed at developing public policies to improve the medical field, with the aim of producing more effective and safer solutions, preserving health as a fundamental corollary to human rights. The difficulty of weighing up the protection of sensitive data from users of AI programs aimed at medical monitoring is addressed, due to the lack of specific regulations. In the end, there is a concrete possibility of mitigating the risks inherent in the implementation of AI-based health systems, to ensure that the benefits of their use are maintained, while safeguarding fundamental rights and constitutional guarantees, serving as a normative parameter for the construction of effective regulatory frameworks that are compatible with the preservation of user privacy and technological innovations in health.
