Significant advances have been made in healthcare and education due to rapid advances in technology, but these advances have not been equally accessible to everyone and have exacerbated social inequalities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the inequalities caused by the development of technology in the fields of health care and education and to discuss the corresponding countermeasures. Through literature review, data analysis, and case studies, this paper proposes a series of policy recommendations and technical improvements aimed at closing the inequality gap. The inequality in the field of health care and education, the development of science and technology has promoted the progress of health care and education but also brought about the problem of inequality. It is necessary to work together through the government, society, technology, and other aspects to effectively address these challenges, achieve equitable development of health care and education, and propose corresponding response strategies. Highlights include an analysis of inequalities in health and education, such as significant barriers to access to advanced medical technologies and services for vulnerable groups such as the poor and older people. In terms of coping strategies, government should increase government investment in medical resources, improve the medical security system, promote the balanced distribution of medical resources, and improve the quality of medical services. At the same time, government should narrow the digital divide and build online teaching so that people in areas with underdeveloped science and technology can receive better education and improve the quality of teaching.
