Abstract
Empathy is a very important competence in health professionals, when working with human beings who are in a situation of vulnerability. Technological advances have caused a depersonalization of human relationships and with it a significant erosion of empathy [1,2]. We cannot deny the importance of technological progress, but it has also brought a loss and loss of empathy between health professionals and patients [3,4]. It is necessary to understand this phenomenon and work on it to maintain it, promote it and learn.
