By acknowledging the pervasive effects of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICTs) in contemporary life, this paper reports on the experience and dilemmas of a reflection group on the following question: does the overwhelming and pervasive use of technologies in everyday life, and consequently in health, deserve its own concept for analytical and socio-political prominence? Using Holliday's systematization, the group proposed the concept of Digital Determinants of Health (DDH) due to the need to strongly highlight the action of NICTs in health - both from an epistemological and socio-political point of view. With the suggestion of the concept of DDH, we urge the academic community to engage in a specific debate on the consequences of NICTs in everyday life in order to guide actions capable of mitigating the negative effects and enhancing the benefits of new technologies in health
