 (1) The assignment delves into three distinct topics: - The impacts of
using Information systems on our health and how to raise awareness for
our society using social media the difference between digital or online
identification cards and national IDs and the issue of inappropriate use
of social media. Let's provide a brief introduction to each topic.

.
1. Impacts of using Information systems on our health and
raising awareness on social media: Information systems have
revolutionized the healthcare industry, transforming the way we
access and manage health-related data. In this assignment, we
will explore the various impacts of information systems on our
health, such as electronic health and telemedicine. Additionally,
we will examine the power of social media as a platform for
raising awareness about health-related issues, disseminating
accurate information, and promoting healthy behaviors within
our society.
2. Difference between digital or online Identification Cards and
traditional IDs: As our lives became increasingly digitized, the
concept of identification has also undergone a significant shift.
In this section, we will discuss the difference between digital or
online identification cards and traditional national IDs. We will
explore the unique features and advantages of digital ID cards,
including enhanced security measures, convenience, and
potential interoperability. Understanding these differences is
crucial as we navigate the transition from physical identification
cards to digital alternatives is an ever-connected world.
3. Inappropriate use of social media: The rise of social media
platforms has brought about numerous benefits, such as
improved communication and global connectivity. However, it
has also given rise to concerns regarding the inappropriate use
of these platforms. In this section, we examine the negative
aspects of social media, such as cyber bullying, online
harassment, spreading misinformation, and invasion of privacy.
We will explore the potential consequences of such behavior
and discuss measures that can be taken to promote responsible
and ethical use of social media .
Throughout this assignment, we aim to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the impacts of information systems on our
health, the difference between digital or online IDand national
ID and the challenges associated with the inappropriate use of
social media.
WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF USING INFORMATION
SYSTEMS ON OUR HEALTH? THEN USE DIGITAL TOOLS AND SOCIAL
MEDIA TO RAISE AWARENESS AND CREATE A HEALTHY SOCIETY?
The use of Information systems can have various potential
impacts on our health, both positive and negative. Here are some
key points:-
 Positive Impacts
 Access to medical information:- Information systems
provide easy access to a vast amount of medical knowledge,
research articles, and health-related information. This enables
individuals to educate themselves on various health topics, make
informed decisions, and engage in self-care. These resources can
be accessed through the use of electronic devices such as
Telemedicine and Remote Healthcare:- Information systems
enable telemedicine, allowing remote consultations and healthcare
services. This is particularly beneficial for individuals in rural or
underserved areas, as it improves access to healthcare professionals,
reduces travel time and cost, and enhances overall healthcare
delivery.
 Electronic Health Records (EHRs):- Digital storage and
management of patient health records streamline healthcare
processes, facilitate information sharing among healthcare providers,
reduce errors, and enable quick retrieval of patient information.
 Negative Impacts
 Privacy and Security Risk: The use of information systems in healthcare
raises concerns about the privacy and security of personal health data.
Unauthorized access, data breaches, and mishandling of sensitive information
can lead to identity theft, fraud, or discrimination.
Information overload and Misinformation: With the abundance of health
information available online, individuals may face challenges in discerning
Variable sources from misleading or inaccurate information. This could lead to
confusion, self-diagnosis, or the adoption of incorrect self-treatment methods.
Sedentary Lifestyle and Technology Addiction:- is increased reliance on
information systems such as computers, smartphones, and digital devices can
contribute to sedentary behavior and reduced physical activity. Additionally,
excessive use or dependence on technology can lead to technology addiction
and adverse mental health effects.
RAISING AWARNESS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF
INFORMATION SYSTEM ON HEALTH IS CRUCIAL FOR OUR SOCIETY
 Education and Training: conduct educational programs and training sessions to enhance digital
literacy and inform individuals about the benefits and risks associated with the information system in
healthcare. This can target various groups including healthcare professionals, students, and the general
public.
 Information campaigns: launch information campaigns using multiple channels such as social
media, websites, posters, and brochures. These campaigns should focus on key topics like Privacy
Protection, reliable sources of health information, and responsible use of technology.
 Collaboration with healthcare Providers: collaboration with healthcare providers to
disseminate accurate and reliable health information through their networks. This can involve
providing resources, materials, or guest speakers for educational sessions organized by healthcare
facilities.
 Engage community leaders and organizations: partner with community leaders and
organizations to promote awareness at the grassroots level. This can involve hosting community
events, health fairs, or workshops where individuals can learn about the impacts of information
systems on health.
WHAT MAKES OUR DIGITAL OR ONLINE IDENTITIES
DIFFERENT FROM OUR NATIONAL ID?
 A digital or online identification
typically includes personal
information such as name, photo,
date of birth, and unique
identification number. It's stored
electronically and can be accessed
and used online.
 The advantage of digital ID is that
we can use it anywhere as long as
we are in Ethiopia
 And we will see in the next page the
image of digital ID.
A national ID is a Physical card
issued by the government that
serves as an official
identification document. It
typically includes personal
information such as name,
photo, date of birth, and unique
identification number. It is used
for identification purposes in
various situations
To summarize, the main difference is that a digital or online
identification card is stored electronically and can be accessed
and used online, while a national ID is a physical card. The
information included in both types of IDs is generally the same
but the format and method of use are different.
