Computer and Internet Platforms in Promoting Physical Activity and Health

The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed how individuals access health information and participate in wellness programs. At the center of this transformation are Internet platforms, digital infrastructure or software that enables interactions, data exchange, transactions, and services between multiple parties. These platforms combine physical infrastructure (hardware, networks, and servers) with software components (programs, databases, applications) creating comprehensive systems for delivering applications and services ( Cen et al., 2024 ). As the platform’s users base grow, its value increases because a larger social network attracts even more users, facilitating greater exchanges of knowledge and services.
