Technology in Healthcare

Description

In today’s society, health program professionals must be able to integrate technology into behavior change programs. In an effort to get you familiar with technology and health promotion/education, you will be required to prepare a literature review paper on the use of technology (i.e. computers, mobile devices, apps, etc.) in health program design. To complete this assignment correctly, you must choose a health topic or issue you’re interested in (e.g. oral health, teen pregnancy, youth violence, racism/discrimination, etc.) You will then search peer review journal articles (min 4-8 articles, depending on topic) for interventions that employ innovative technological strategies to aid in behavior change. Do not select “review” or “meta analysis” articles. If you discover an interesting intervention published in a review article, you must find the original article (go to the reference page). All journal articles must be current (< 5 years old, no older than 2015). For your convenience, I have included a link to literature review on the use of text messages in disease prevention and management. NOTE: this article is not written in APA format. Your paper should be written in APA format. Please familiarize yourself with APA guidelines.
