Abstract: The diagnosis of digital competencies in primary health care (PHC) professionals is an urgent need that requires the attention and coordination of health managers and higher education institutions responsible for continuing health education in Brazil. This study presents the Digital Intelligence Test in Health (IDs Test) as a tool that can assist professionals and health managers in identifying essential digital competencies for safe and effective practice within the context of the Brazilian Unified Health System digital program (SUS Digital), supported by information and communication technologies. The tool was developed based on the standardized IEEE 3527.1-2020 model, which includes 24 digital competencies organized into three development profiles, derived from an analysis of 25 global digital literacy initiatives. The IDs Test has undergone three phases and has already been administered to more than 1,200 students and health professionals, with an average digital health literacy score exceeding 73%. In the current phase, the IDs Test has been adapted to help PHC professionals identify their strengths and suggest personalized training pathways based on the results, aiming to enhance the digital competencies necessary for professional practice.
