Adolescence is a unique and transformative life stage, and a formative period for health and health behaviours. Emerging technologies have significant potential to shape the future health of young people for the better, but there are also concerns that technologies could become a substitute for social interactions that are at least as important for health and wellbeing.
In 20 years time:
This presentation sets out some essential points that shaped the discussion at the second life stages workshop on young people, technology and health.
PHG Foundation will publish a final report based on the My Healthy Future work in 2019. In the meantime, we'll be posting related resources before and after each workshop. Take a look at the resources and share your views on Facebook and LinkedIn and follow #myhealthyfuture on Twitter.
