Meet Aparna, a student of the Public Health Club at SDRV Convent School, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, whose journey began with a simple wish to give back to her school and community. From leading classroom hygiene checks to organizing visits to old age homes, she went on to lead a Nukkad Natak (street play) on malaria awareness, a cause deeply personal to her, and later represented India at the International Conference on Public Health, organized by the World Health Organization in collaboration with the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA).
In this video, Aparna talks about what she learned alongside delegates from Japan, Thailand and beyond, including resolution writing and consensus-building. Now aspiring towards a career in neurology, she hopes to keep serving people the way the club taught her.
The Public Health Club at SDRV Convent School was established by Dr. Ashish Joshi, PhD,MBBS,MPH, Dean and Distinguished University Professor, University of Memphis School of Public Health, as the first of its kind in India. Foundation of Healthcare Technologies Society (FHTS) had the opportunity to contribute to this initiative under Dr. Ashish Joshi, PhD, MBBS, MPH’s leadership.

This Week on SHINE: Global Nutrition & Health Updates 🌍
The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a new report examining inequalities in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors, highlighting how social and economic factors influence health outcomes across populations.
The report, State of Inequality: Noncommunicable Diseases and Their Risk Factors, explores disparities in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, alongside risk factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, obesity, and air pollution.
Income, education, gender, age, disability, and place of residence can shape both exposure to health risks and access to prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment. The findings emphasize the importance of using inequality data to design more inclusive and effective public health interventions.
This is the kind of global health development SHINE brings together.
Launched in 2021, SHINE is a global platform for Nutrition Informatics, connecting nutrition, information, and technology to support evidence-based practice, research, programs, and policies.
📌 Every week, SHINE brings you:
- Global health & nutrition happenings
- Emerging evidence and research
- Policy & practice updates
- Innovations and success stories
Stay informed. Stay connected. Stay ahead with SHINE.

Mobile Addiction and Anxiety Levels
Have you ever found yourself checking your phone without a notification or reaching for it the moment you wake up? While smartphones keep us connected, excessive and uncontrolled use may affect our mental health, particularly our anxiety levels.
Research suggests that problematic smartphone use and anxiety may be interconnected. Fear of missing out (FOMO), constant notifications, social comparison, and disrupted sleep can contribute to this relationship. However, smartphone use does not automatically lead to anxiety. How and why we use our devices matters.
The goal is not to eliminate smartphones, but to build healthier digital habits. Setting screen-time boundaries, reducing unnecessary notifications, and making time for offline interactions can help create a healthier balance.
This discussion is open on COPHI (Community of Population Health Informatics), a discussion forum anchored in the SMAART framework and envisioned by Dr. Ashish Joshi, PhD,MBBS,MPH
Share your views on:
- How does excessive smartphone use influence anxiety and mental well-being?
- What role do FOMO, social media, and sleep disruption play in problematic smartphone use?
- What practical strategies can help individuals develop healthier digital habits?
Share your experiences, perspectives, and evidence-informed ideas on promoting healthier digital behaviours.
