Abstract:
Background: Individuals of South Asian ancestry represent 23% of the global population, corresponding to 1.8 billion people, and have substantially higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease compared with most other ethnicities. US practice guidelines now recognize South Asian ancestry as an important risk-enhancing factor. The magnitude of enhanced risk within the context of contemporary clinical care, the extent to which it is captured by existing risk estimators, and its potential mechanisms warrant additional study.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the journey of a South Asian country, Bangladesh, towards a digital nation, along with its focus on the digital health sector. Due to inadequate ICT infrastructure, people seek and share health-related information on search engines and social media, such as Google and Facebook and watch health issues related YouTube Videos. This paper argues that while the advancement of digital media technology opens the opportunity for digital labor by enabling doctors to work in the digital space and allows them an extra earning facility, it exploits the free labor of the viewers who pa
