Health is a prosperous state of body, soul, and social that allows every person to live productively socially and economically. Health is a very important thing for every human being because without good health, then humans are difficult to do all their activities. Someday people must have experienced a condition where his health is not good. This makes a problem that must be addressed immediately through all forms of health care available. As per the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of The Republic of Indonesia article 28H in which one of them explains that everyone is entitled to health services.

Health care must be a requirement of society that currently has been generated by technology so as to create a convenience. Convenience here is that everyone can know the history of the disease caused by what and healed through what method. That's all of course by the advance of technology in the field of health. The more technology that spurs health care certainly impacts on ways that can cure various diseases. In addition, this has an impact on the health of the people who are getting better and being on the welfare of society itself.


Health care in Indonesia is experiencing a significant development. This development can be seen from the more complete health equipment and methods in healing diseases owned hospitals in Indonesia. This is not apart from the technological developments that shape and spur health care. In addition to medical personnel who are experts and professionals, the students also provide concrete evidence through the findings of both the tools and methods of healing the disease thanks to a technology. Can be seen from the facts that proved to be true has developed in the field of health in Indonesia in terms of health care.

Currently, health care can create economic activity because it serves as a lucrative business. The business is in the form of health services by doctors and other medical personnel and other health unions. Usually these services receive payments from patients or from patient insurance companies although they can also be funded by the government or done by volunteers especially in poor countries. Health services can form a large part of the country's economy. In 2012, there are about 544 private hospitals in Indonesia and the number is expected to grow to 731 in 2018. Nitin Dixit, Senior Industry Analyst, Healthcare, Frost & Sullivan, said that the next step to take is to realize the vision of technology utilization Encourage the improvement of health services, where the implementation target of health information systems at the provincial level reaches 100% and 60% for rural / urban areas in 2014. Utilization of technology will also support the health care distribution process throughout the archipelago, because today most doctors Specialists are only available in major cities and the distance to reach is far enough away. As an illustration, the increasing use of telemedicine systems for video consultation and remote diagnosis, as well as the use of the Internet as a means of health consultation with local doctors without having to come directly to the clinic is one of the efforts to improve community access to health services.[1]

The process of development of digital technology world has influenced many fields one of them is health care. One of the influences that adds to the medium of this field is with the many emerging health applications that can be easily accessed via smartphone devices. For example, in developed countries today the process of ear or hearing health checks of children can be done using a smarthphone device. Through the device the doctor can diagnose the infection and prepare the appropriate treatment for the patient. The increasing number of mobile applications in the field of health this course will facilitate the course of patient care. A researcher from Rock Health has found that there are currently about 13,000 digital health applications. [2] The use of technology in the health sector will certainly reduce the cost of health care and increase the scale of health experts help many people. Indeed, mobile health technology is not a substitute for health care. It is part of the health care process supplement itself. It's just that mobile apps have a better communication factor between the health expert and the patient itself.

Looking at the things described earlier, there are three types of consumers who use the application in terms of health care. The first is to utilize for health shorts such as diagnosing, recording, and treating diseases that patients suffer. Second is to take advantage of health in the field of sports such as fitness. The third is to utilize for the approach to health and lifestyle as they want to know the same level of calories nutrients that enter into their bodies. Based on these three things can be seen that all are human needs in the current era that is influenced by technology and life style.

Technological advances we can not avoid and should always be able to follow. Technological progress is the momentum to make it a benefit rather than creating problems due to the inability to keep up with all of its developments. Moreover, technological advances that exist in developed countries must surely outweigh the developing countries, but it should not be addressed with pessimism but a spirit to compete to create more creative and innovative. Particularly in Indonesia, which is a developing country, until now has shown the fighting spirit in following the development of technology by utilizing it to be useful precisely in the field of health.

The inclusion of technology in health care such as aid assistive aids methods alleviate health problems in Indonesia. Among health experts from professional medical personnel to students have proven through the findings of useful Indonesia and certainly useful for many people. Plus more and more people who believe with just enough treatment in the country without having to leave the country has proven Indonesia is quite a lot clean up in terms of health through technological advances. This is certainly increasing the business enthusiasm of this health care.

In essence technology has shaped and influenced health care as well as creating bright hopes for the future of health in Indonesia. The big influence besides the economy in terms of business is to create a prosperous Indonesian society because the public health is good and guaranteed properly. In addition, technology also facilitates physicians in their work and interact more easily with patients. Through technology also hope every human being will be able to run healthy lifestyle. This certainly has an impact on the increasing welfare of the people themselves and has implications for Indonesia so that it can be said to be a developed country later.
