Technological innovations in healthcare promise substantial benefits, yet they inadvertently widen health inequities, especially in low-income and marginalized communities devoid of proper infrastructure.
As technology evolves and remote monitoring tools become more prevalent, access is often assumed to be uniform—neglecting the harsh realities faced by many low-income populations.
In high-income nations, new health technologies are seamlessly integrated into healthcare systems. In contrast, marginalized communities continue to remain disconnected from these advancements.
The disparity in access to healthcare technology is fundamentally tied to socioeconomic status, highlighting how telemedicine's success during the pandemic was limited by digital inequities.
