Abstract

The worldwide repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic have compelled nations to seek innovative solutions. Concurrently, the evolution of technology has unveiled a host of emerging solutions that hold the potential to revolutionize infectious disease management. This study offers a comprehensive overview of pandemic control, encompassing prevention, contact tracing, detection, and treatment. Particularly in the context of the Covid-19 era, the paper retrospectively evaluates technological applications in these domains. Synthesizing insights, it provides a nuanced understanding of technology's interplay with disease management. Drawing from the collective wisdom of the Covid-19 epoch, this study informs the development of effective measures intertwined with technological advancements. Furthermore, the paper forecasts and recommends paths for technology-driven infectious disease management, establishing a basis for informed decisions amid global challenges.
