The article discusses the potential of digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, to address the COVID-19 pandemic. These technologies can enhance traditional public health strategies in two main areas: monitoring, surveillance, detection, and prevention of COVID-19, and mitigating the impact of the disease on healthcare systems. The IoT provides real-time data for tracking and understanding the pandemic, while big data analytics can model viral activity and guide policy decisions. AI and deep learning can improve detection and diagnosis, and blockchain can ensure secure and traceable data management. Additionally, digital technologies can support virtual healthcare services, reduce clinical loads, and facilitate medication delivery. The successful application of these technologies in the context of COVID-19 could increase public and governmental acceptance of digital solutions for future healthcare challenges.The article discusses the potential of digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
