The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growth of digital health tools. Although a number of different tools exist to support field data collection in the context of outbreak response, they have not been sufficient. This prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to collaborate with the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) and GOARN partners to develop a comprehensive system, Go.Data. Go.Data, a digital tool for outbreak response has simplified how countries operationalize and monitor case and contact data. Since the start of the pandemic, WHO and GOARN partners have provided support to Go.Data projects in 65 countries and territories, yet the demand by countries to have documented success cases of Go.Data implementations continues to grow. This viewpoint documents the successful Go.Data implementation frameworks in two countries, Argentina and Guatemala and an academic institution, the University of Texas at Austin.
新冠疫情加速了数字健康工具的发展。尽管有许多不同的工具可用于支持疫情应对中的现场数据收集,但这些工具并不够。这促使世界卫生组织(WHO)与全球疫情警报和反应网络(GOARN)及GOARN合作伙伴合作,开发了一个综合系统Go.Data。Go.Data是一款用于疫情应对的数字工具,它简化了各国对病例和接触者数据的操作及监测方式。自疫情开始以来,WHO和GOARN合作伙伴已为65个国家和地区的Go.Data项目提供了支持,但各国对记录Go.Data实施成功案例的需求仍在不断增长。本观点文章记录了Go.Data在阿根廷、危地马拉这两个国家以及德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校这一学术机构的成功实施框架。
