Emerging Technologies for the Prediction and Mitigation of Future Pandemics and Global Crises

In a global pandemic, technology tools are vital weapons for effectively monitoring and controlling disease outbreaks, as humans simply cannot operate and match the scale and speed at which AI powered machines can operate. As such, this book will cover technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, IoT, digital image processing, drones, robots, apps, CCTV cameras, desensitization techniques, etc. and the ways that they can be applied to effectively manage global crises. Technology cannot prevent the onset of pandemics; however, it can help prevent the spread, educate, warn, and empower those on the ground to be aware of the situation, and noticeably lessen the impact. This book presents the impact of the digital technologies which can help the whole world in this and other global crises. Graduate students, researchers, academicians, industrialists and professionals that are interested in exploring and implementing different technologies to fight pandemics will find this book invaluable.
