Healthcare Technology for Reducing the Risk and the Spread of COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Epidemics

Abstract

As the very first big outbreak in our era, COVID-19 offers an outstanding incentive to legislators, and regulatory authorities should find procedural viability, moral validity, and usefulness of implementation in the time of new healthcare technologies. This chapter addresses the outbreak of coronavirus and how digital healthcare technologies can help navigate and resolve COVID-19 and future epidemics. As the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-2019) spreads, technological advancements and efforts to control the disease, manage clients safely, and promote teamwork among overburdened health care practitioners designing innovative, efficient vaccines would be critical. This review looks at how various healthcare scientific sectors are assisting in the fight against the pandemic, as well as how innovative implementations are being used to treat or cure illness. An analysis of the technical landscape in the COVID-19 sense enables some tentative reflections about the conditions of technical involvement in fighting this once-in-a-century pandemic. Firstly, unlike previous global health crises, it seems to turn people from monitoring artefacts and epidemiological analysis through information creation topics via self-tracking, information sharing, and digital information flows. Furthermore, even if many of such innovations were not implemented, in a previous medical crisis background, their extensive usage on a world basis raises concern about the extent of mobilising domestic spying techniques on racial equality and also worries about government agencies retaining higher monitoring rates long after the end of the pandemic. Within the recent epidemic framework, advanced technical technologies in data analysis and remote monitoring of the urgent laws that require the immediate termination of human rights and the approval of medical equipment and vaccinations by fast-tracking processes have been implemented. Everyone knows that digital healthcare technologies are progressively being embraced in this field for fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter produced an overview to explain all the efforts being made towards this pandemic in digital healthcare tech. Healthcare centres throughout the world are transitioning to the new technologies listed below to help ease their workload, either by increasing the speed diagnostics or allowing physicians to monitor patients who have been virtually quarantined. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
