Patients must expect, or even demand, that their healthcare providers take full advantage of the revolution in health tech.

It might be in a social gathering of mutual interest, in shopping malls, in restaurants, or in other public places.

Familly health

Parenthood bestows the medical responsibility of children to their parents. Thus parents, or appointed guardians, must always accompany minors for medical consults. Minors cannot also make decisions on any proposed treatments, or give medical consent. This remains the responsibility of their parents. But minors will transit into adults in the course of time, paving the way for assumption of the rights of adulthood. In medical terms, parental supervision must gradually cease, allowing the now adult kids to exercise some independence and responsibility for their own medical needs.
