The WHO (World Health Organization) have adopted a systematic data-driven process, using up-to-date digitisation methods, called S.M.A.R.T. The acronym stands for data that is – Standards Based, Machine Readable, Adaptive, Requirements-based, Testable. who.int./teams/digital-health-and-innovation/smart-guidelines. Accumulated data is used to identify any areas of concern, and pinpoint where and what medical healthcare intervention may be needed, be this locally, internationally, or globally. Recommendations by WHO for the implementing of such a system in communities and countries will of course, be dependent on the financial and intellectual resources that are available or needed. Towards this end, here are a few areas that are probably benefitting by such implementation. Years ago, who would have thought of a world where digital information would come to the aid of billions of people? Medicine has certainly been transformed in this area.
One of the primary reasons for sex-education is to decrease sexually prevalent diseases (STD’s, HIV etc.), the resultant un-planned births, mental / physical incapacities, and many others. Young adolescents are still receiving mixed messages from home, school, church, peers, elders, social media. This can translate into national problems that become a burden on society and the healthcare system. The data collection and reporting of diseases, symptoms and other health indicators could be a primary call to action. Rampant illnesses and babies with little pre-planned future would have all sorts of repercussions on a country or society that is not taking note of reported data. What long-term effects are likely from the lack of practical sex-education for adolescents? The collected data and obvious statistics over time will show.
