The R&D activities of researcher Benigna Gómez Zúñiga has as its main mission the study of psychological aspects linked to the use of ICT with regard to people's health and quality of life.
Her current lines of work are linked to health promotion via the Internet amongst different groups and health conditions (chronic pain, adolescents and the elderly), social media and minority diseases in collective intelligence processes and the relationship between cognitive processes and technological systems.
