The objective of this paper is to study the potential reduction in health care utilization associated with the expansion of new technologies. Using Spanish micro data from the Survey on the Equipment and Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT-H) in Households for 2014 we analyze information technologies equipment, availability of access and means of Internet connection per household. We model the probability of an individual being internet user in Spain as a function of a range of socio-economic characteristics, including individual’s gender, age, education and employment situation. Also, we hypothesized that a greater use of this communication technologies is related to a lesser health care expenditure.RESUMEN: El rápido crecimiento de la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías está teniendo un efecto importante en el conocimiento sanitario y comportamiento de las personas. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar el potencial efecto reductor en la utilización de servicios sanitarios asociado a la expansión de estas nuevas tecnologías. Utilizando micro datos de la Encuesta sobre Equipamiento y Uso de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación en los Hogares (TIC-H) para el año 2014 analizamos equipos de tecnologías de la información, la disponibilidad de acceso y los medios de conexión a Internet por hogar. Modelizamos para España la probabilidad de que un individuo sea usuario de Internet en función de una serie de características socio-económicas, incluyendo el género, la edad, el nivel educativo y la situación laboral. Se apoya la hipótesis de que un mayor uso de estas tecnologías de comunicación se relaciona con un menor gasto sanitario.icono14Universidad de Cantabria20152015-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10902/9778ICONO14 | Año 2015 Volumen 13 Nº 2reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/97782026-06-02T12:39:31Z
