I am sharing this article because it is full of information regarding various types of advanced health technologies and apps. It is interesting to see the trend of people, patients, who are taking control of their healthcare and utilizing these tools. From health trackers to digital watches that monitor exercise and vitals to apps that help diabetics count carbs there are many resources available online now to help the general population be more informative and proactive in their own health care.
Digital healthcare and utilizing apps for healthcare will make access to physicians easier and improve patient care. Most of us smartphone users are already using health tracker apps to monitor our diet and exercise. Consider the possibilities and benefits of apps that can monitor chronic health problems such as congestive heart failure and diabetes. Monitoring, planning and implementing patient care may be more effective using this technique. In addition to patients being cared for more promptly than waiting for an appointment will likely improve patient care and outcomes and may even cut down on healthcare costs.

Overthinking a problem, leaping to solutions and self-censoring your ideas are three common thought traps that might be avoided with simple techniques.
The first, overthinking, is unhelpful because it complicates the original problem. Instead we should come up with an early solution,…

Technology is inevitable in this day and age. It surrounds us and it is up to us to figure out how to use it. We can use it for good or we can use it for evil. The technology does not decide that for us, it is up to us how to use it. We can determine how long we can make it last, how to build it, and what to build it for.
In the Huffington Post article, “Is Technology Good or Evil?,” writer Daniel Burrus discusses how people use technology for good and for evil. He starts out by staying, “Technology can give you cancer and technology can cure your cancer. So it’s not about whether technology is good or bad; it’s about what we do with technology that matters.” I completely agree with this statement. Technology just provides us with the resources, but it is up to us how we use those resources. We can build TV’s that last 2 years or we can build TV’s that last 20 years. It all depends on the motives we have. What are goals are, what we hope to get out of our use of technology.
Burrus goes on to discuss how drones are becoming more and more popular for military and police surveillance. The drones have saved numerous lives and make surveillance a lot easier so they are becoming more popular. Once the market discovered how popular the drones have become, they continued to release newer, more expensive ones. Again, Burrus has brought up another great point. Some markets take advantage of the power of technology and use it for their own good. Instead of focusing on the main purpose of technology, we begin to become greedy and use it to our own advantage, making money. I believe that technology companies today do not build their products to their fullest potential because it would keep consumers from purchasing as often. Instead of using technology for greed, we should use it for its primary purpose, to make ordinary tasks more convenient and provide safety, knowledge, communication, and security.
Burrus continues to discuss how technology has been used for good and evil over the years, and finishes by saying, “We need to make sure our must-do’s are creating a better, more human, and more enlightened world. Let’s get involved and do whatever we can on an individual level to create a better tomorrow.” Instead of focusing on the negatives of technology and how technology can hurt others to benefit a few, we all need to work together to figure out how technology can benefit everyone and be more of a good than an evil. It is all about perspective.
Technology can do amazing things for us but we must first decide to build it to do amazing things. Instead of focusing on greed or destruction, we should focus on how to advance in medicine and knowledge; how to increase communication. I agree when Burrus explains that technology is a wonderful resource, we just have to use it wisely and for the right reasons.
