Description

Digital Technology in Public Health and Rehabilitation Care: COVID Era provides an in-depth examination on how digital technology has impacted public health and rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book showcases the range of digital technology applications utilized in healthcare, including the use of mobile phones, computers, wearable and non-wearable technologies, sensors, 3D printers, robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), internet technologies, websites and apps, virtual and augmented realities, and computer games. With a wealth of case studies and insights, this book is an essential resource on the impact of digital technology on public health and rehabilitation services in the COVID-19 era.
