Reflect on the different strategies discussed in the lecture, and think about your own work or educational context as you consider the following questions:
-
Is there some location in your country where you think these technologies can be used? Why would it be useful in that context?
-
Are there other technologies you know of that can be adapted for the surveillance of polio or another health problem?
Please share your thoughts in the discussion.
