Abstract
Soon after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic was proclaimed, digital health services were widely adopted to respond to this public health emergency, including comprehensive monitoring technologies, telehealth, creative diagnostic, and therapeutic decision-making methods. The World Health Organization suggested that artificial intelligence might be a valuable way of dealing with the crisis. Artificial intelligence is an essential technology of the fourth industrial revolution that is a critical nonmedical intervention for overcoming the present global health crisis, developing next-generation pandemic preparation, and regaining resilience. While artificial intelligence has much potential, it raises fundamental privacy, transparency, and safety concerns. This study seeks to address these issues and looks forward to an intelligent healthcare future based on best practices and lessons learned by employing telehealth and artificial intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Highlights
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the environment, and people’s health lifestyle globally [1,2]
Those lessons can be applied to improve our reaction to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) through innovative and productive techniques [3,4,5]
This study investigates the role of telehealth and artificial intelligence (AI) in combating the COVID-19 outbreak through identifying hotspots in digital health during COVID-19
Summary
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the environment, and people’s health lifestyle globally [1,2]. Recent cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), influenza A virus subtype H1N1, and Ebola Virus Disease have taught us many lessons about the usefulness of digital health in public health crises. Those lessons can be applied to improve our reaction to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) through innovative and productive techniques [3,4,5]. In 1980, the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VisTA) was deployed for the first time; this is considered the beginning of what is referred to as digital medicine, leading to the first generation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The VisTA user interface allows providers to analyze and edit the EHR of patients, which was the beginning of medical information technology [6]
