I enjoyed watching Blank Panther for the second time, because now as a person interested in technology, I was able to understand the implications and struggles that T’Challa goes through in terms of bringing forth the Wakandan technology. This is because often times, when there are technologies that can be dispersed to help communities, there can be a lot of resistance in doing so. This is of particular interest to me since currently I am working on a project that analyzes how medical doctor ratings influence patient outcomes. In this sense, when doctors refuse to use technologies, this increases their likelihood of receiving negative feedback from patients and subsequently losing money. There are many reasons why technology(similar to the Wakandan technology) are not welcomes by people. A main reason in the face of human-robot interaction is the fear that these technological systems will question the impact that doctors can have which makes them very inclined to reject their use. However, if people like T’Challa do not fight for these technologies to be used to help people, will we reach a limiting point to which we can cure diseases? I think it is interesting to evaluate the opportunity cost of using human labor instead of technology due to lack of policies/legislation because in some sense, we could have been more technologically progressive in the health care fields had there not been this resistance. However, this brings in the question of how we can continually introduce technologies to supplement and not substitute physicians work in order for medical technologies to be really purposeful in our society? We need to have a willpower to fight against obstacles that may be preventing health care systems from being as technologically progressive as they can be, but how must we do so in a way that keeps all stakeholders(people, physicians, insurers) satisfied? While currently there are not tangible solutions to these areas, I am looking forward to joining the healthcare industry at some point and analyze how we can further penetrate technologies into the field. Similar to T’Challa, I would be excited to be able to think about the ways in which I can design technologies for social and health impact.
