Abstract
The use of modern technologies to meet individual and population health requirements during the pandemic is analyzed and discussed, including how these advances minimized healthcare delivery challenges and aided the public health response to the pandemic. To address healthcare and population requirements, the pandemic's unprecedented challenges call for new and cutting-edge tools, including telemedicine and digital public health. Telemedicine enables medical professionals to treat patients from a distance and allows patients to get care from their homes. Telemedicine enabled medical staff to avoid needless contact with COVID-19 patients, reducing the spread of diseases within healthcare facilities. Healthcare professionals were able to treat patients remotely because of telemedicine. The efficacy of telemedicine use in the healthcare community was put to the test by the coronavirus pandemic. The coronavirus pandemic assisted in developing policies for patient and professional safety and testing the effectiveness of the healthcare community's prior use of telemedicine.
