Abstract

The global outbreak of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) has necessitated the urgent identification of effective strategies for outbreak control. This essay focuses on the role of technology and innovation in addressing monkeypox outbreaks, aiming to evaluate the potential and practical benefits of these emerging approaches. The discussion begins with an overview of the epidemiological characteristics of monkeypox outbreaks and the associated public health risks. It subsequently examines the application of advanced technologies in patient treatment, disruption of transmission routes, and outbreak surveillance. Additionally, the challenges inherent to these technologies and innovations are explored. The essay highlights the effectiveness of these approaches in controlling outbreaks and offers recommendations for future research and policy development. Findings from this work are intended to enhance preparedness for future outbreaks.
