As I mentioned above , increased
patient access to healthcare ,
decreased emotional therapy costs ,
and the capabil ity of accessing or
sending test results to your
physician in real time are all
incredible ways digital health care
has benefitted individuals .
Providing patients more control
over their health needs in terms of
management , has eased the burden
for health professionals in many
rural and suburban areas in the
country .
HEALTHCARE
EDUCATION In addition to the internet , the widespread
access to smartphones and various other
digital devices have allowed for a larger
reacher for students to engage and interact
with learning materials . With the help of
open education organizations and specific
programs , students can also partake in
virtual classrooms i f they are unable to afford
to travel or attend a university .

PRIVATE SECTOR In certain areas , mobile disruptive tech continues t
reshape the landscape due to its abil ity to slash
costs and increase efficiency for big corporations .
Various companies across industries have now
allowed employees to bring their own devices to
facil itate internal f lexibil ity and reduce in-house
costs ( i .e . , allowing employees to work remotely) .
In closing , security is another big concern for
businesses around the world and unfortunately ,
cyber related incidents are top concerns for many
companies in developed countries . Enhancing and
maintaining security across industries is the best
way to make sure that the consumer or individual ’s
personal information is not compromised during th
disruptive tech shift in many f ields .
