Week6
Discussion: Technology Innovations and Healthcare
One can only imagine where technology will take us in the next 10, 50, or 100 years. New and exciting innovations are emerging every day in fields like artificial intelligence and virtual reality, and these will continue to have an enormous impact on how healthcare is delivered and how privacy and security are maintained.
To preparefor this Discussion, search the Walden Library or the Internet for a technological innovation in healthcare ( e.g., Blue Button, telemedicine, computing, video gaming in healthcare, robotic and computer-assisted surgeries, simulation devices, etc.). This innovation should be different than the mobile device you discussed in Week 3.

- What is the technological innovation and how is it used?
- Whom will it impact?
- How could it improve healthcare quality and delivery?
- How might the innovation evolve in the future?
