Technology’s role in treating the virus

A lot of my post have revolved around the current issue of COVID 19, but when we think about it, what else is there to really talk about. I decided to do some research to see how or if technology is playing a role in ending this virus. I came across an article that goes into what technology’s role has been so far and how it has really been useful. According to the article, the digital health community release a slew of new tools aiming to monitor the spread of the disease and facilitate better treatment. In terms of COVID-19, the rise in digital epidemiology tools, chatbot helpers, EHR guidance tools and rapid-response test kits has made an appearance. There’s so many more things that I’m sure we have no idea about and I feel fortunate to live in a country that is able to produce different technology devices that help end all this madness. Chatbot is reportedly helping healthcare providers keep up with the high volume of requests they’re seeing. Technology like this is really helping take the load off of healthcare workers and I love to see that. They have been working overtime everyday to help those in need and it is great to see that we have the technology that is able to help them.
