Stud Health Technol Inform. 2024 Jan 25:310:1550-1551. doi: 10.3233/SHTI231288.

Abstract

The inefficiency of the healthcare system in addressing pandemics is highlighted after COVID-19 which is mostly rooted in data availability and accuracy. As it is believed we might witness more pandemics in future, our research's main objective is to propose an integrated health system to support healthcare preparedness for future infectious outbreaks and pandemics. The system could support managers and authorities in healthcare and disaster management, and policymakers through data collection, sharing, and analysis.

Keywords: Digital health; disaster healthcare; pandemic management.
