In this text, I propose the concept of "metapresentiality" as a fundamental element for a Critical Theory of Digital Health. First, I present the concepts of technique, technology, and technical object, central to the theories of Álvaro Vieira Pinto and Milton Santos. Secondly, based on Luciano Floridi's philosophy of information, I question the relevance of the dichotomy real-material-concrete vs. digital-virtual-informational as an ontological foundation for concepts of reality, place, and presence, highlighting the notions of virtual reality and extended reality. Thirdly, I introduce an etymological-historical critique of the series presence-telepresence-metapresence, focusing on the emerging notion of meta-presentiality in the form of proto-concept and its eventual formalization as a conceptual foundation for a socio-technical appropriation and technosocial integration of digital technologies. Finally, I discuss Digital Health as a field of knowledge, techniques and practices and evaluate epistemological and pragmatic advantages of metapresentiality as a concept in the fields of computing, education and health.
在本文中，我提出了“超现成性”的概念，将其作为数字健康批判理论的一个基本要素。首先，我介绍了阿尔瓦罗·维埃拉·平托和米尔顿·桑托斯理论中的技术、科技和技术客体等核心概念。其次，基于卢西亚诺·弗洛里迪的信息哲学，我对现实、场所和在场概念的本体论基础的二分法，即真实-物质-具体与数字-虚拟-信息的相关性提出质疑，强调虚拟现实和扩展现实的概念。第三，我对“在场-远程在场-超现 在”这一系列概念进行了词源历史批判，重点介绍了元现成性的新兴概念，以原概念的形式出现，并最终将其形式化，作为数字技术的社会技术挪用和技术社会整合的概念基础。最后，我讨论了数字健康作为一个知识、技术和实践领域，并评估了元现成性作为计算、教育和健康领域的一个概念的认识论和实践优势。
