Designing Monitoring and Prevention Software for Public Health Systems in Emergencies

Abstract

Public health emergencies refer to large-scale infectious diseases in some countries or regions,which seriously threaten people’s life, living and production. In modern society, due to the large amount of information received by individuals, the large and fast random moving radius, and the possibility of entering dense populations, it is difficult to establish an effective system to prevent and control the spread of disease using traditional epidemiological survey and other means when public health emergencies occur. This is because those methods cannot accurately track individuals’ behavior and their detailed contact history. The author observed the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in China recently, as well as the application of information technology in the fight against the epidemic, consulted the preventive and control measures against epidemic diseases from WHO,analyzed the main demands and application scenarios of public emergency monitoring and prevention, and based on the new achievements in computer and communication technology at home and abroad, put forward a technical framework, development method, and operation mode for preventing and controlling the spread of a large-scale epidemic. As an organic part of the long-term monitoring and control system of national public health emergencies,the software platform will help to improve the level of China’s prevention and control system for infectious diseases.
