The digital age in healthcare is a double-edged sword. On one side, technology such as electronic medical records, telemedicine, and AI-powered diagnostics paves the way for accessibility for all and innovation that was unimaginable 10 years ago. On the other hand, these healthcare organizations handle vast amounts of sensitive data  -  from medical records to insurance details - so the question arises, “Do healthcare organizations protect patient privacy?” 

Whilst making our annual trip to the Goa Office this February, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Danzil Fernandes, a QA Analyst for SJInnovation, who also works as a wellness coordinator. We discussed the implementation of a wellness programme for employees and how beneficial it can be to companies of all sizes. As he points out, our younger years are full of activity, but often as adults, we find ourselves sitting in sedentary jobs accompanied by busy lives, passively watching our health slowly decline.

What is the Americans with Disability Act?

The Americans with disabilities act, also known as the ADA, is a civil rights law to ensure there is no discrimination against the people with disabilities in all the areas of public life, which includes schools, shopping centers, all public and private places open to general public etc.
In 2008, the law was updated and among the other things, telecommunication was added, so that the people with disabilities should have no problem accessing digital contents, and that includes the websites.
