Technology allows us to address global health gaps in ways we haven't been able to do in the past. However, to ensure that it bridges rather than limit access to conducive work conditions, quality care, and socioeconomic gaps, we must ensure diversity in developers, policymakers, and local voices in the process of defining solutions.
