Abstract

                 In the current lndustry 4.0 era, information technology heavily influences daily life, work and health. Working age adults are important to the country because this part of the population produces social product and is burdened with the care and well-being of people of other ages, both younger and older. Therefore, it is necessary for working people to seek knowledge to be used in health care for themselves and their family members from various media and through information technology. The survey of health conditions found that working people are at increased risk of chronic non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia. Therefore, promoting good health for people of working age is a matter of importance for nurses, and just as important as promoting health for the very young and very old. This article discusses health promotion for working people in accordance with the guidelines of the Ottawa Charter, consisting of building health public policy, creative supportive environment, strengthen community actions, developed personal skill, and reoriented health service and addresses the application of Pender's health promotion concepts in the age of digital health technology.
