Digital technologies are strengthening the pandemic management

The future of public health is likely to become increasingly digital, and we review the need for the alignment of international strategies for the regulation, evaluation and use of digital technologies to strengthen pandemic management, and future preparedness for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. While a lot of consumer health and wellness tech has also received good response, it’s the hospital and medical institutes that have been comparatively slow in adoption. The digital revolution has transformed many aspects of life. Digital technologies can supplement clinical and laboratory notification, through the use of symptom-based case identification and widespread access to community testing and self testing, and with automation and acceleration of reporting to public-health databases.



In times of crisis, there are various tech adoptions that can help streamline operations for hospitals, including, Robotic Process Automation (RPA)/ Hospital Automation: AI powered automation has been adopted across industries and is seen to be one of the single most disruptive factor to bring in efficiency, increase TAT, reduce dependency on human resources and drive productivity, at reduced costs. Secondly, Blockchain is going to make Electronic Health Records (EHR) accessible: One of the most crucial aspects of healthcare technology has been the effective collection and digitisation of patient data. Thirdly, Virtual Clinical Trials: One of the major contributions of technology in healthcare, in the form of big data and data analytics, that has been in the field of pharma research and lastly, Advanced diagnostic technology: Accurate and timely diagnosis is the key to win a fight against any disease or illness. Over the years, diagnostic technology has seen some breakthrough innovations and set some remarkable examples of tech adoption, from ML, AI, IoT and blockchain.
