Answer Preview 

Economic development also impacts technology, in that when there is the advancement of technology in an area then such individuals have the ability to access the current medical care that is needed (Lutz-Tveite & Urbandale). For instance, for the Amazon people, the introduction of mobile technology has impacted greatly on the health care system, as the government has a way of monitoring the people that have been vaccinated, as well as those that have not. Moreover, this has also improved aspects of computer systems that have allowed the government to store data that helps in facilitating the health of the Amazon people (Gracey & King, 2009).
