There are a relatively small number of instances where ICT could play a part, eg

I have investigated factors which can influence participation in physical activity and food choices, and the impact of activity on population health in the Scottish and wider contexts. I can use this information to discuss policies and inform my own health choices [Physical activity and health at fourth level]

Using my knowledge of nutrition and current healthy eating advice, I can evaluate the information on food packaging, enabling me to make informed choices when preparing and cooking healthy dishes [Food and the consumer at third level]

I know how to access information and support for substance-related issues [Substance misuse at third/fourth levels]

I know how to access services, information and support if my sexual health and wellbeing is at risk. I am aware of my rights in relation to sexual health including my right to confidentiality, and my responsibilities, including those under the law [Relationships, sexual health and parenthood at third/fourth levels]
