    The intersection of technology and public health stands as a critical nexus, offering unprecedented opportunities as well as serious challenges. Recent technological advances bring new solutions that can transform healthcare delivery, disease prevention and healthcare. From telemedicine and telehealth services to wearable devices and artificial intelligence, these devices promise sophistication, affordability and efficiency in healthcareSignificant opportunities are emerging in data-driven decision making. Integrating big data analytics enables real-time monitoring of public health data, facilitates rapid response to emerging threats, and optimizes resource allocation Digital healthcare systems enable individual delivery they prioritize their well-being, encouraging a paradigm shift toward preventive health care. In particular, telehealth services bridge geographic gaps, providing remote consultations that extend health care to underserved populations.But the promising land is not without its challenges. Privacy concerns are more pronounced, as the collection and use of personal health information raises ethical dilemmas. Harnessing the power of data and striking a balance between protecting individual privacy is paramount to successfully integrating technology into public health. Additionally, the digital divide presents tangible risks, and disparities in access to technology can exacerbate existing health disparities. The convergence of technology and public health represents a positive path to transformative change. While the opportunities are great, navigating through the challenges requires critical thinking and collaboration

    This paper considers the intersection of technology and play through the novel approach of gamification and its application to early years education. The intrinsic connection between play and technology is becoming increasingly significant in early years education. By creating an awareness of the early years adoption of technology into guiding frameworks, and then exploring the makeup of gaming elements, this paper draws connections for guiding principles in adopting more technology-focused play opportunities for Generation Alpha

    The Intersection of Technology and Everyday Life

    27 pagesGrowing up in the age of technology, mobile phones and tablets are all that we've ever known. As a society, we have become reliant on the connectedness that our phones give us to people from all across the world. In some cases, we have become addicted to how we interact with screen-based technology. Built into phones and apps are different techniques to keep us looking longer and scrolling more. I am going to analyze how our use of screen-based technology and phones has changed over time and examine the impact that this has had on society—specifically with Generation Z. With my background in computer science and coding, I will develop an app that focuses on bringing people back into real life. After certain intervals of time of continuous use of your phone, the app will pop up a reminder to take a break, drink some water, and bring yourself back into the moment. With this gentle reminder, I'm hoping to enable people to relieve their dependency to screen-based technology a bit. With the research that I gather, I will interpret the importance of the app and the potential applications it will have to daily life and the impacts it could bring to my generation
