Advancement of technology and its application in public services has played a crucial role in enhancing human health. In the present day, healthcare is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by innovative technologies that continually push the boundaries of disease management. State of the art devices aid in diabetes tests, HIV detection, and fabrication of orthotics, prosthetics, and clinical devices. Additionally, the integration of remote care, telemedicine, and mobile health services is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by bolstering care in medical facilities and empowering patients to actively participate in decision-making alongside healthcare providers. The utilization of wearable devices, mobile health solutions, telehealth, health information technology, and telemedicine has led to enhanced accessibility in healthcare, reduced inefficiencies within the healthcare system, improved service quality, lowered costs, and facilitated individualized or personalized care.
