Technology and Public Health

The role between technology and public health has never been more critical: how we research, plan, and respond and how we interact and inform are based on our connectedness to the whole. Technology and internet access are now just as important as running water and electricity. This new social determinant of health moves at the speed of innovation and can be tailored to a population’s needs in a matter of days.
