Technology can include the fastest of computers as well as more prosaic and familiar tools like the telephone or thermometer. Technology is often harnessed to address health problems. Some examples include solar power batteries for charging cell phones and lights in remote villages (https://www.lutheranworld.org/news/women-engineers-brighten-village) or hacking glucometers to make an individualized insulin pump (https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-06-hacking-diabetes-people-insulin-alternative.html).
What to do:
- Find some technology related to pediatric mental health and post a link.
- Include an image of the technology in your posting along with the link.
- Sources for information can include news reports or advertising, but be sure you critically evaluate the information – don’t take everything at face value! Make sure to cite all sources used, in your references.
- Including information about what benefits and drawbacks it offers to the consumer/user.
- This is an individual assignment, but work within your group to identify different technology. Ideally this individual work will benefit your final team project.
