ESTHER BUSH
This month, the “Take Charge of Your Health Today” page focuses on health technology. Jennifer R. Jones, MPH, community engagement coordinator with CTSI, and Esther L. Bush, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, talked about this topic.
JJ: Good morning, Ms. Bush. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts about health technology. The health care delivery system and the way we access health information certainly is changing.
EB: It sure is, Jennifer. And many of these changes are having a positive influence on health care. More information about personal health will be readily available to us. Technology is being used in ways that it never has been before when it comes to health.
JJ: That’s so true, Ms. Bush. Health technology includes many things—medical equipment used during provider visits or the new types of medication our health care providers prescribe for us. It can also include vaccines, medical procedure advances or even databases that control how our personal health information is stored and shared.
