This research has been funded thanks to the “Ayudas Fundación BBVA a Equipos de Investigación Científica SARS-CoV-2 y COVID-19” in Humanities., The main aim of this article is to reflect on the impact of biases related to artificial intelligence (AI) systems developed to tackle issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, with special focus on those developed for triage and risk prediction. A secondary aim is to review assessment tools that have been developed to prevent biases in AI systems. In addition, we provide a conceptual clarification for some terms related to biases in this particular context. We focus mainly on non-racial biases that may be less considered when addressing biases in AI systems in the existing literature. In the manuscript, we found that the existence of bias in AI systems used for COVID-19 can result in algorithmic justice and that the legal frameworks and strategies developed to prevent the apparition of bias have failed to adequately consider social determinants of health. Finally, we make some recommendations on how to include more diverse professional profiles in order to develop AI systems that increase the epistemic diversity needed to tackle AI biases during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond., Fundación BBVA SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19

INTRODUCCIÓN: La terapia espejo es una técnica innovadora utilizada como tratamiento en el síndrome del miembro fantasma (SMF) y en el accidente cerebrovascular (ACV). OBJETIVOS: Determinar los efectos de la terapia espejo como tratamiento en pacientes amputados con SMF y en pacientes con un ACV de una evolución mínima de 6 meses. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica con el fin de obtener ensayos clínicos que utilizasen la terapia espejo como tratamiento en el SMF y en el ACV, encontrando 11 artículos en total. RESULTADOS: Los protocolos evalúan los efectos de la terapia espejo utilizando diversas variables. En el caso del SMF están enfocadas al dolor, mientras que en el ACV están dirigidas a la funcionalidad del miembro superior, observándose mejoras significativas en ambas patologías. CONCLUSIÓN: La terapia espejo es beneficiosa en el SMF y en el ACV, disminuyendo el dolor y mejorando la función motora y funcionalidad del miembro superior respectivamente. INTRODUCTION: Mirror therapy is an innovative technique used in the treatment of phantom limb syndrome and stroke. OBJETIVES: To determine the effects of mirror therapy as a treatment in amputees with phantom limb syndrome and in patients with a stroke with a minimum evolution of 6 months. METHODS: A literature search was carried out in order to obtain clinical trials which were using mirror therapy in patients with phantom limb syndrome and in patients with a stroke, making a complete selection of 11 articles. RESULTS: All protocols evaluate the effects of mirror therapy using different variables. In the case of phantom limb syndrome are focused in pain, while in the stroke are directed to the functional aspects of the upper extremity, showing significant improvements in both pathologies. CONCLUSION: The mirror therapy is beneficial for phantom limb syndrome and stroke, reducing pain and improving motor function and functionality of the upper limb respectively.
