The application of blockchain technology in the early warning and monitoring of infectious diseases

Abstract

In order to improve the efficiency of emergency management and decision-making and command of infectious diseases, infectious disease early warning technologies and systems can be used to monitor the trend of abnormal outbreaks and provide timely and accurate warnings. However, the current infectious disease early warning system still has problems such as insufficient intelligence, poor circulation of key information, and difficulty in distributed collaborative decision-making. Based on the blockchain distributed computing architecture, combined with emerging information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and smart contracts, an infectious disease monitoring and early warning technology and its implementation framework are proposed. The technology can efficiently concentrate multi-party monitoring forces, flexibly integrate multiple early warning methods, build a knowledge integration and smart interconnected distributed collaborative monitoring environment under the premise of security and privacy protection, and use smart contracts as open, fair, software-defined monitoring The agent integrates decision-making, monitoring infectious diseases and automatic early warning in real time, so as to take into account the requirements of early warning accuracy and timeliness, and avoid isolated evidence and decision bias.
