Abstract: The article focuses on the role and impact of technology in integrated health care, highlighting its diverse applications such as electronic health records, telehealth, mobile apps, wearable biosensors, and artificial intelligence. It emphasizes the rapid growth of technology in health and family systems, accelerated by recent innovations and the COVID-19 pandemic, while noting the need for scientific evaluation of its benefits, harms, and cultural appropriateness. Key challenges include the lack of standardized regulations, ethical considerations, and addressing systemic biases, particularly in artificial intelligence applications. The article calls for research that explores culturally sensitive, cost-effective, and ethically sound technological innovations to improve access, outcomes, and provider well-being within integrated care models.
