Technology has historically supported the curative approach to health, in the form of drugs, medical gear, and diagnostic tools. On the other side, public health focuses primarily on primary healthcare, preventive and promotive care, strengthening the health system, and encouraging healthier behaviours. Technology has always enabled public health, but it is now becoming a key component of many public health treatments. When technological solutions are developed for global health and international development, several different descriptors are frequently employed, including affordability, quality, greater reach, simplicity, and scalability. Sadly, the implementation of technology in the field of public health has lagged behind its improvements. There are very few examples of technology being successfully used in public health interventions.
