| This deliverable collects effective ways and use cases demonstrating how AI and other digital technologies have combatted COVID-19 through the lifecycle stages of public health emergency management, including prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The outputs are expected to evolve towards a more generalizable mechanism on the health emergency continuum, eventually applicable to other pandemics. Digital technologies can play a critical role in supporting health professionals and protecting human lives, through: rapid screening of early symptoms, identifying risk via chatbots, assisting diagnosis with suggestions/reference, monitoring patients’ vital signs, facilitating remote care, supporting treatments and vaccines, predicting the evolution and potential mutations of viruses, optimizing hospital operations, providing information to the public in a rapid and widespread manner, etc. All digital means at our disposal, and artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, are expected to be used to accelerate progress in prevention and control in a safe, reliable, and evidence-based way. |
