On March 11, 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the highly infectious virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), was characterized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic [1,2]. Due to its highly contagious nature, COVID-19 has catalyzed the introduction of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing and quarantine measures [6]. Thus, the pandemic has shifted society to become reliant on healthcare technologies. The objective of this scoping review is to establish what health informatics interventions have been applied, validated and tested globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings demonstrated a range of 12 types of health informatics interventions with various global applications and use. As evidenced by the intervention heterogeneity, the necessity to adopt a global cohesive strategy to improve human safety through the utilization of smart, efficient, and communicable technologies is vital.
2020 年 3 月 11 日,世界卫生组织(WHO)将引发冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的高传染性病毒——严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)定性为全球大流行[1,2]。由于其高度传染性,COVID-19 促使引入了非药物干预措施,如社交距离和隔离措施[6]。因此,大流行使社会转而依赖医疗保健技术。本范围综述的目的是确定在 COVID-19 大流行期间全球已应用、验证和测试了哪些健康信息学干预措施。研究结果表明,存在 12 种不同类型的健康信息学干预措施,在全球范围内具有各种应用和用途。干预措施的异质性表明,通过利用智能、高效和可传播的技术来提高人类安全性,必须采取全球一致的策略。
