Select a current/new piece of healthcare technology available to consumers. This canbe done through a web search or trip to your local Best Buy.
Some technologies to consider are: computerized pedometers like FitBit or Nike Fuel, iHealth blood pressure cuffs for iPhone, WiFi scales that track and manage your weight/BMI, health-focused websites/services like "the Daily Challenge" or "23 and Me"...
Now, consider how the dynamics of Cost, Quality and Access affect your decision to purchase/use this technology. Think about how it employs evidence-basedconcepts and the personal change it would require to adopt this technology. Discuss with your classmates the dynamics of your evaluation of this technology for personal use.
Consider how healthcare organizations do similar evaluations when they adopt new or existing technologies. How is your personal evaluation similar to the process healthcare organizations go through? How is it different? Share your thoughts on this exercise with the class.
