Abstract

The obfuscation and the kind of cover-up or delay in COVID-19 crisis response put the veracity of global healthcare settings at stake and appended a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions. The ineffectual surveillance systems of public health and social measures cause the swift viral transmission pace amid mounting death toll and necessitate for an effective, cohesive, and strategic response. The digital ecosystem can serve the purposes intended in a transparent and immutable manner. This article highlights the problems encountered by the global healthcare settings in responding to pandemic and throws light on how the global digital ecosystem can handle crisis by managing the landscape radically through transparent information sharing via Internet of things (IoT) with the data being utilized by artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies on a cross-disciplinary collaborative basis. It will help to develop and provide borderless solutions of public health via monitoring, surveillance, detection, and prevention as well as digi-tool-assisted repurposed treatment by the use of authentic and decentralized distributed database that makes all contributors (participating countries, United Nations Organizations, the world medical associations, and global media and publications) accountable, inviolable, and efficient to tackle healthcare processes. It will extricate a blanket ban on information sharing thereby bringing democracy and freedom.

Highlights

  • Today, the world reels under the devastating impact of the novel virus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) or (COVID-19) pandemic

  • The fast and transparent information sharing to the world about the provenance, virulence, and protective measures about the novel virus could have checked the exponential sweeping of the COVID-19 pandemic

  • The global healthcare organizations and authorities would have been a savior from the looming and rising menace, but their veracity today is at stake for the kind of a cover-up or delay, resorted in the early days of the epidemic. This would not have been doable in an open society. All these episodes cause an exponential rise in COVID19 cases within 2 months of the first infection in early December and appended a biological dimension to geopolitical tensions

Summary

Introduction

The world reels under the devastating impact of the novel virus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) or (COVID-19) pandemic. For existing and future crisis, this platform can be kept improvising at the right time and trained properly with the data set, cohesive and geographically comprehensive strategic response to boost the conventional public health approaches of PHSM and MSDP through a distributed and adaptive digital system with properties of self-organization, scalability, and sustainability inspired from natural ecosystems (Briscoe and Wilde, 2006).
