It is an unfortunate reality that infectious diseases continue to become more and more prevalent, leading to multiple epidemics and pandemics in the past year. Even more commonplace, increases in chronic diseases, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. continue to impact a majority of the world’s population. Improving access to healthcare as well as providing new methods of healthcare delivery have become essential for the efficient diagnosis and treatment of patients. Furthermore, technologies and new medical training are attempting to solve health literacy issues, combatting misinformation and trying to put much needed healthcare information and prevention strategies in the hands of patients. This has been made easier through technological developments impacting the medical field; mobile technologies may be used to receive contactless doctor’s appointments and even monitor patients’ health from miles away. Between public health policies, medical technologies, and medical literacy among patients, professionals in the medical and government sciences field must be aware of the best practices in healthcare delivery.
