Abstract : Introduction: Health technology and innovations have significantly transformed the global healthcare system. This article examines how advancements, including telemedicine, electronic health records (EHRs), wearable devices, and artificial intelligence (AI), are enhancing access, efficiency, and the quality of care.  Objective: This article aims to examine the implications of various health technologies on patient outcomes and healthcare accessibility, identifying both the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation.  Methods & Literature Review: A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted, focusing on key innovations in healthcare. The review encompassed studies on telemedicine, electronic health records (EHRs), wearable devices, and artificial intelligence (AI), examining their impact on operational efficiency, patient engagement, and health disparities.  Discussion: The integration of health technologies has improved access to care, particularly in underserved areas, and streamlined clinical workflows through the use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and inequalities in technology access must be addressed to maximize these innovations' benefits.  Conclusion: While health technologies present significant opportunities for enhancing healthcare delivery, a balanced approach is necessary to maximize their benefits. Stakeholders must prioritize equitable access and ethical considerations to ensure that all populations benefit from these advancements.

Keywords : Health Technology, Telemedicine, Electronic Health Records, Wearable Devices, Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare Accessibility, Efficiency, Quality of Care.
