    Technological innovations are revolutionizing public health by enhancing the accessibility, efficiency, and quality of health services. This paper explores various technological advancements such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, mobile health applications, and wearable devices, which are transforming public health. Big data analytics enable faster and more efficient health data processing, aiding in early diagnosis, outbreak prevention, and informed health policy-making. Mobile health applications and telehealth services improve access to healthcare, allowing individuals to monitor their health, communicate with healthcare professionals, and receive services remotely. Wearable devices offer continuous health monitoring, enhancing disease detection and health management. These innovations collectively increase the effectiveness and efficiency of health services, contributing to better overall public health outcomes.

    3He is currently working as a lecturer at Dicle University Atatürk Vocational School of Health Services as an assistant professor in the field of Public Health at Fırat University (2023) with my thesis on the evaluation of patients coming to the Muscle Diseases Center. in Public Health from Dicle University (2018) and M.Sc. Atılım University Health Institutions Management Bachelor’s Degree (2016). He completed his undergraduate education at Dokuz Eylül University, Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation (2010). My career has included many positions. He started working as a physiotherapist at Balıklı Göl State Hospital (2010-2011), then served as Head of the Department of Physical Therapy at Diyarbakır Training and Research Hospital (2011-2014). Later, he became a lecturer and program head at Bingöl University Vocational School of Health Services (2014-2018), and also served as Head of the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation until 2022. He has been working as a lecturer at Dicle University since 2022. He is a member of the Turkish Physiotherapists Association and the Neuromuscular Working Group. I hold various certifications including Clinical Pilates Therapy level 1 to 3, Kinesiology Taping and have received training in neuromuscular diseases from the Department of Health. He contributed to international journals with his studies on COVID-19 anxiety, myocardial strain in congenital myopathy patients, and evaluation of cardiomyopathy in muscular dystrophy. His studies, such as evaluating the satisfaction levels of families of patients hospitalized in a pediatric hospital, are also included in national journals.
