Challenges and Opportunities in COVID 19: A comprehensive concise review and proposal

Main Article Content

Robert L Drury, PhD

Abstract

This paper first offers complexity theory as an overarching theoretical framework to conceptualize both the current COVID 19 pandemic and then a series of related topics that lead to a focused recommendation for prevention and management of inevitable future pandemics. The deployment of streaming wireless sentinel surveillance is advocated, suggesting the use of AI- assisted algorithmic processing of psychophysiological data to identify emerging pathogens of potential concern and implement evidence based preventive and intervention strategies. Data are collected using existing personal devices which are both effective and scalable in both developed and developing locations.

Keywords: COVID-19, Pandemic Prevention, Complexity Theory, Sentinel Surveillance, Artificial Intelligence, Psychophysiological Data, Evidence-Based Strategies, Wireless Surveillance, Global Health, Future Pandemics
