Description
Summary:During the last two years, the public health crisis caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has put constant pressure on social life, the functioning of institutions in general, and health services in particular. The rules of social distance or population mobility imposed by each state, determined by the level of spread of the virus, have shown how important various modern technologies are in facilitating relations between people or between them and state institutions or companies in which they work. Health services have directly benefited from the use of modern technology in health crisis management, but are also exposed to data security risks and the management of a large number of medical devices and consumables with limited use. In the context of the current crisis, the authors try to identify modern technologies and how they can facilitate the effective control of the spread of the pandemic, the exercise of a medical approach aimed at losing as few lives as possible, the discovery in record time of Covid-19 vaccines, the functioning of the economy and, very importantly, the maintenance of social relations in conditions of isolation. The authors’ approach methodology was based on the analysis and interpretation of information presented by prestigious websites in the field of healthcare, scientific research or Information Technology.
