Esta revisión de alcance analiza la literatura publicada en 2024 sobre las aplicaciones de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en entornos educativos para promover hábitos de vida saludable. Se consultaron las bases de datos PubMed y SciELO, identificándose 142 registros, de los cuales 14 estudios cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Las intervenciones documentadas abarcan actividad física, salud mental, nutrición, salud oral y prevención de enfermedades crónicas. Entre los hallazgos más relevantes destacan el uso de algoritmos de aprendizaje automático y aprendizaje por refuerzo para personalizar metas de ejercicio, la implementación de sistemas de monitoreo de salud estudiantil a través de aplicaciones móviles, la detección temprana de síntomas de depresión y ansiedad en estudiantes universitarios, y el análisis de contenido en redes sociales para reforzar mensajes de prevención de cáncer. En conjunto, la evidencia demuestra que la IA ofrece herramientas efectivas y escalables para fortalecer la educación en salud, facilitar la toma de decisiones preventivas y fomentar comportamientos saludables. No obstante, se identifican desafíos éticos, tecnológicos y de equidad que requieren marcos normativos y capacitación docente para garantizar un uso seguro, inclusivo y sostenible.
