The exponential advance of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the last decade has led to the increasingly widespread use of new electronic devices (NED) in the workplace. The emergence of new concepts such as telework from home or mobile work (ework) represents a clear example of this phenomenon. However, the benefits resulting from these changes in work dynamics may mask potential occupational risks and impacts on health and safety derived from "nonresponsible" use of new technologies. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of NED use in the work environment and to point out the resulting health consequences. It has been observed that desktop computers are still the most frequently used devices, except in mobile work environments, where laptops and smartphones are more prevalent. The emerging health problems detected are mainly associated with musculoskeletal, visual and psychosocial disorders. This work demonstrates the need to continue deepening the study of the emerging pathologies associated with new work environments and possible intervention measures.
在过去十年中，信息通信技术（ICT）呈指数级发展，导致新电子设备（NED）在工作场所的使用日益广泛。诸如在家远程办公或移动工作（电子工作）等新概念的出现就是这一现象的明显例证。然而，工作动态变化带来的好处可能掩盖了因“不负责任”使用新技术而产生的潜在职业风险以及对健康和安全的影响。本研究的目的是分析工作环境中使用NED的影响，并指出由此产生的健康后果。据观察，台式计算机仍然是最常用的设备，但在移动工作环境中除外，在移动工作环境中笔记本电脑和智能手机更为普遍。检测到的新出现的健康问题主要与肌肉骨骼、视觉和心理社会障碍有关。这项工作表明有必要继续深入研究与新工作环境相关的新出现的病症以及可能的干预措施。
