Synergizing Horizons: The Tech-Driven Unification of Health, Environment, and the Law

Literature Review

The convergence of health, environment, and law in the digital age presents a complex and dynamic landscape, prompting a critical review of existing literature. David (2017) and Bublitz (2019) both highlighted the transformative potential of technological innovation, particularly in the areas of environmental enforcement and health research. Environmental monitoring systems, empowered by sensors, satellites, and big data analytics, have emerged as critical sentinels, providing real-time insights into air and water quality, deforestation patterns, and climate change impacts. Das et al., (2022) highlight the effectiveness of these systems in predicting and mitigating health risks associated with environmental hazards. For instance, air quality monitoring data can be integrated with respiratory health surveillance systems to trigger targeted interventions during pollution peaks. The convergence of environmental data and personalized healthcare platforms offers a unique opportunity for targeted interventions. Pristner and Warth (2022) explored how individual environmental exposures can be factored into healthcare plans to optimize treatment and prevention strategies. For example, individuals with asthma residing in areas with high air pollution levels might benefit from personalized air filtration devices or medication adjustments based on real-time air quality data.
