Ngabasebenzisi abalinganiselwa ezigidini ezi-2.77 emhlabeni wonke, isimo sezinkundla zokuxhumana sithathe umhlaba ngesivunguvungu. ENingizimu Afrika, cishe isigamu sabantu sisebenzisa i-intanethi, kufaka phakathi abasebenzisa i-Twitter abayizigidi eziyi-8 kanye nabasebenzisi be-Facebook abayizigidi eziyi-16.

Lokhu ukuguqulwa kwedijithali uye wavula amathuba amakhulu ekudalwa kwemiphakathi ye-intanethi ngokubandakanyeka kwe-wideescale ngokuzungezile ngezihloko eziyinkimbinkimbi ezifana ne- ukuphathwa kwezimo zezempilo.

Faka 'e-Patient', igama elichaza abantu abasebenza kahle empilweni yabo futhi ukunakekela impilo izinqumo.

Ngokuvumelana ne UVanessa Carter, i-Stanford University Medicine X e-Patients Scholar kanye nesiphakamiso esizayo Ingqungquthela yezempilo ye-Digital Health, e-Iziguli zikhona abantu abasebenzisa imithombo ye-digital njengewebhu, ama-smartphones noma ezinye izinto zokugqoka ukuze bazifundise ngesimo sabo futhi bahambe ngesistimu yezempilo ukulandelela nokuphatha impilo yabo.

"Ngesikhathi sokuthengwa kwempahla, abaningi be-e-iziguli, ekulawuleni impilo yabo, babonisa ukuziphatha okufana nokwabantu abacwaninga izibuyekezo ngaphambi kokwenza ukuthengwa kwe-intanethi, nakuba umqondo we-e-Patient ungaphezu kwalokho," kusho uCarter.

Ucwaningo oluqhutshwa iHhovisi leZwelonke lezibalo e-UK ku-2018 lithole ukuthi i-59% yabesifazane kanye ne-50% yamadoda ubuke ulwazi oluhlobene nempilo ku-intanethi. E-US, abantu abangu-56% basebenzisa amawebhusayithi kanye no-46% asebenzisa amafoni weselula ukuphatha impilo yabo ku-2018, ngokusho kwe-Accenture Consulting ye-2018 Consumer Survey ye-Digital Health.

Nakuba kungekho zibalo eziphelele ezitholakalayo eNingizimu Afrika, uCarter uthi ukuguquguquka kwemithombo ye-inthanethi nokuzibandakanya kuye kwafika indlela ende yokunika iziguli amandla. Izinsiza zeDijithali ku-21st-Century zihamba ngaphesheya kwewebhu futhi zizofaka izingubo zokugqoka nezicelo zeselula ezithatha idatha yezempilo. "

Ukubandakanywa kohulumeni kuyisihluthulelo sokushayela ukusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe bedijithali ukuthuthukisa impilo izakhamizi zayo. I-e-tech tech njengamarekhodi wezokwelapha e-electronic, izinhlelo ze-telemedicine nezinhlelo ze-elekthronikhi ezisetshenziswe ngempumelelo ukuthuthukisa imiphumela yezempilo nokunika amandla abantu.

INingizimu Afrika, kodwa-ke, iye yazama ukufuduka amasistimu wenkambiso yendabuko yesifundazwe ohlelweni lwesitoreji se-elekthronikhi olungatholakala nganoma yisiphi isikhungo sezempilo noma udokotela. Lokhu kubangele ukuba kubalwe kahle emhlabeni jikelele E-Health inkomba yokuvuthwa.

Imizamo kaHulumeni yokwenza umsebenzi wokunakekelwa kwempilo ibonakale kwizicelo ezinjenge-MomConnect, uhlelo lokusebenza olusekelwe efonini olunikeza izinsiza ku-intanethi kubesifazane abakhulelwe. Kusukela ekudalweni kwayo, ithole abasebenzisi abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.7 ngaphezulu kwe-95% yezikhungo zezempilo zomphakathi ukuze kube omunye wemisebenzi emikhulu yomhlobo wayo emhlabeni wonke. I-NurseConnect isandiso seM MomConnect kubahlengikazi ukuthola ulwazi lwamasonto onke ngezici ezifana nempilo yomama, ukuhlela umndeni kanye nempilo ezalwa entsha.

UCarter uthi nakuba lezi zindlela ezintsha zinezindlela ezinhle, ohulumeni bangenza okungaphezulu ukugoba izikhala zedijithali nokuhlinzeka ngemithombo yekhwalithi. Lokhu kufaka phakathi amasevisi we-Wi-Fi ezibhedlela nasemitholampilo kanye namawebhusayithi wezibhedlela nemitholampilo, kokubili okuyizinto eziyisisekelo ezikwazi ukunika amandla iziguli futhi zilondoloze isikhathi nemali ekucwaningweni kwe-intanethi. "

Uyanezela ukuthi umsebenzi olula kwiwebhusayithi yesibhedlela ukutshela isiguli mayelana nomuthi ohlalayo, isibonelo, ungabalondoloza uhambo olubi esibhedlela, imigqa emide kanye nokunciphisa umthwalo osindayo ezindaweni ezigcwele kakhulu.

UCarter akaqiniseki ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bedijithali buzobaluleka ekuqinisekiseni ukusimama kokunakekelwa kwempilo esikhathini esizayo, nokuthi i-e-Patient izoba nendima ebalulekile okumele idlale.

"Kuyoba yinselele ukuthuthukisa uhlelo oluhle lwe-e-Health uma iziguli zingabalingani abalinganayo. Nakuba i-e-Patients isathuthuka, ikakhulu emazweni asathuthuka njengeyethu, akufanele ihlaziywe njengoba, esikhathini esizayo, iyoba yisisekelo sokuqoqa idatha yekhwalithi ngokubambisana nabachwepheshe babo bezokwelapha. Odokotela abakwazi ukwenza lokhu kuguqulwa kwempilo yedijithali kuphela, "esho.
