“…Mobile health should be considered as part of a gender‐transformative program, where mobile health tools and initiatives become a platform to address imbalances in power and promote equity in diverse arenas (health, political, economic, and social settings).

Technological innovation has served as a useful catalyst for development goals across sectors, from agriculture to education. Various forms of health information technology (HIT), such as mobile health and telemedicine, have been used globally to support health care delivery systems.

Stakeholders have been slow to recognize and resolve conflicts about how technology affects gender disparities, especially in health care. In this paper, we describe, using a social capital framework, how integrating HIT in health systems can empower women in the health care workforce. We conclude with policy recommendations that can support women in the health care workforce through HIT. Numerous global development initiatives suggest that the empowerment of women and girls is one of the most pressing issues of this century.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides a new perspective on the development of economic transactions in digital era. Economic transactions are becoming more efficient, faster, and cheaper [1]. The use of ICT and the internet encourages online transactions to be more accountable than those of conventional transactions. In digital era, entrepreneurs must be able to develop their abilities towards skills in knowledge, ICT, and the internet [2]. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs in Indonesia who are mostly SMEs have weaknesses, one of which is a lack of technological capability. Therefore, the problems were formulated as follows: (a) How these SMEs are able to take advantage of the opportunities and challenges in this digital era; and (b) What strategies should be implemented by SMEs to compete in digital era whereas the use of ICT is massive. The results of the analysis show that in digital era, ICT and IoT can accelerate business development. So, SMEs that do not implement it, will get disrupted.
