Societal Impact

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this assignment, imagine a breakthrough wearable remote monitoring device that could be used to not only detect emergency health conditions before they seriously impact the patient but also dispense life-saving medicine.

Based on this scenario, create a MS Word document that answers the following questions:

Describe your device, its purpose, and functionality.
Explain legal issues that relate to the device.
Explain ethical issues that the device manufacturers, users, and healthcare companies/workers might face.
Identify and explain how your device might impact society. This can include local community or a larger scope.

Use an example from one of the six common domains of SDOH (economic stability, neighborhood, education, food, community/social support, and health
care system) to form your response.
Diversity: Who is or isn’t represented when we discuss social determinants of health, and what can we do about it? How do we change it?
Equity: What are some assumptions made around social determinants of health?
Inclusion: Who is or isn’t included? What can we do so that the environment is more welcome for everyone, focusing on those particularly excluded?
Justice: Choose one of the following: 1. public policy, 2. institutional practices, or 3. cultural messages, and discuss what is needed to achieve and sustain
equity when we discuss social determinants of health.
Be sure to thoroughly form your answers, addressing each of the topics above, and provide examples. How does this relate to what was discussed in our
weekly lesson?…
