The rise of digital technologies has brought about transformations in healthcare systems, driving the concept of Health 4.0—a new care model that integrates Big Data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and other digital tools. In Brazil, the implementation of these technologies in the Unified Health System (SUS) represents both an opportunity and a challenge, due to structural inequalities, infrastructure limitations, and a lack of technical training.
This article aims to review recent literature on the impacts and challenges of integrating Health 4.0 into the Brazilian public health system. A narrative review of the literature was conducted, with research in the PubMed and IEEE Xplore databases, using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and qualitative analysis.
The results were organized into five areas: fundamentals of Health 4.0; applications of Big Data in public health; emerging technologies; challenges in the SUS; and future prospects. It was found that, although technological advances have transformative potential, their effectiveness depends on ethical governance, integrated public policies, and strengthening equity.
