Healthcare has received the most attention in the fight against Coronavirus, exposing various weaknesses in the current system and shedding light on areas in dire need of improvement. The disaster of PPE shortages, insufficient testing capabilities, long regulatory procedures, and a lack of coordination are just a glimpse into the many reasons for why we need to redesign our healthcare system. Digital solutions to the crisis have also brought about concerns with regards to privacy and security, in large part due to the rise in contact tracing, telemedicine, and remote diagnostics, among other crucial factors. In today’s series on Healthcare and Public Health, we’re going to lay out a clear framework for AI-driven solutions that can mend archaic regulatory processes, ensure the safety and security of patients, optimize medical procedures, and the ultimate race to secure a vaccine.
