目标：世界各地的卫生保健系统和专业人员都将技术作为管理COVID-19疫情的重要合作伙伴。本文解释了数字技术如何使公众、医务工作者和卫生保健系统受益。方法：在PubMed、谷歌Scholar和Science Direct数据库中检索关键词，对不同技术及其在COVID-19疫情中的影响和应用进行非系统文献综述。结果：我们发现了各种有用的技术，可以通过临床护理、后勤、社会经济活动维护和检查等广泛领域帮助我们适当地控制和管理COVID-19大流行。然而，要获得这些技术支持卫生保健系统的全部能力，仍需解决主要挑战。结论：技术可以为应对全球和地方紧急情况提供许多创新的想法和解决方案。在这个非常模糊和危险的时刻，我们需要所有我们可以收集的资源来拯救我们自己和我们的病人。障碍和挑战，如缺乏技术熟练程度、保密要求和报销问题，需要迅速、准确和富有同情心地识别和解决。
Objective: Health care systems and professionals worldwide are relying on technology as an essential partner to manage the COVID-19 epidemic. This paper explains how digital technologies can benefit the public, medical workers, and health care systems. Method: This nonsystematic literature review was conducted on different technologies and their impact and applications in the COVID-19 epidemic using proper search keywords on the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases. Results: We found various helpful technologies, which can help us to appropriately contain and manage the COVID-19 pandemic through broad areas of clinical care, logistics, maintenance of socioeconomic activities, and inspection. However, main challenges still need to be addressed for obtaining the full capacities of the technologies to support health care systems. Conclusion: Technologies can offer many innovative ideas and solutions against global and local emergencies. In this time of great vagueness and danger, we require all the resources we can collect to rescue ourselves and our patients. Barriers and challenges, such as lack of technology proficiency, confidentiality requirements, and reimbursement matters, need to be recognized and resolved rapidly, accurately, and compassionately.
