How do we guarantee medical care for all? Should vaccinations be mandatory? How should we conduct triage if our medical system is under stress? Is it possible to balance protecting our economy, our environment, and our citizens? Physicians, scientists, politicians and advocates work tirelessly to promote global health equity—but how? In this class, we’ll learn about how we can work towards achieving equal, accessible, and quality care for all—and what that means globally.

Apple watches, Fitbits, step counters—we have access to a wealth of data and health tracking resources…but who else does? If your Fitbit can predict your heart rate will spike at 11:30, and Flo knows when you’re going to start your period, can advertisers better target products to you? Can law enforcement use this data as evidence in a criminal case? Could an employer use it as grounds to fire you? In this class, we’ll explore what it means for Apple, Google, and third party apps to have our biological data, both broadly and in the context of reproductive health rights.
