Over the years there has been an increase in support for public education about different diseases and how people would become infected, as well as what can be done to avoid such diseases and what precautionary measures can be taken to prevent infection or spread of diseases. Many people became aware of the measures thanks to the numerous programs initiated by the government and numerous other resources; knowledge of such diseases would help contain the diseases to prevent further complications. The CDC or Center for Disease Control has released an app called "Solve the Outbreak", the app provides different scenarios where the person using the app would be the "detective" who can help find the source of the diseases or ailments that many people had been infected with. This app among many is great for many people to learn about various diseases, besides the fact that the app is updated with new cases which can help people to understand various diseases and also the app is visually appealing which would make more people play it the various cases and learn along the way. The app is generally intended for the public, but would be more useful to younger people and those who do not have adequate knowledge of the basic characteristics of the disease. The app provides basic information that also serves as a catalyst for educating people. The age of technology has made health related apps more useful and much more available to anyone with technology at their fingertips, the use of technologies such as health related apps can spread knowledge even if it is just a game. The app provides information on how the disease spreads and the solution, but does not include the socioeconomic effects on the topic...... the focus of the article... and because of their inferiority compared to others and the feeling L 'being oppressed by others often causes infection of diseases due to the psychological impacts and impact on one's income as many people have different attitudes towards different races/ethnicities. Such programs exist to help people learn more about the different factors that can impact a person; if changes were made to the lifestyle of the poor, their life expectancy would begin to increase and awareness of such measures would therefore benefit others. who are struggling and those who have no voice.
