“…In fact, blockchain technology allows setting up a secure and distributed network for collecting, storing, and sharing information on COVID-19 patients, urban operations, and other variables. This way, a distributed database can be developed that makes it possible for policy makers and healthcare authorities to use this accurate and trustable data source for designing necessary response measures [2,41]. This can also facilitate developing early warning systems based on real-time data collection and analysis and can strengthen the forecasting and prediction capacities.…”

“…This is particularly important in aging communities, which are expected to face a significant increase in the demand for healthcare services, leading to additional pressure on already strained healthcare systems [77]. To ensure the successful progress of the telemedicine initiative, new technologies such as 5G and blockchain could be used to not only reduce processing time but also better address privacy and security concerns [41,68,77].…”

Since its emergence in late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has swept through many cities around the world, claiming millions of lives and causing major socio-economic impacts. The pandemic occurred at an important historical juncture when smart solutions and technologies have become ubiquitous in many cities. Against this background, in this review, we examine how smart city solutions and technologies have contributed to resilience by enhancing planning, absorption, recovery, and adaptation abilities. For this purpose, we reviewed 147 studies that have discussed issues related to the use of smart solutions and technologies during the pandemic. The results were synthesized under four themes, namely, planning and preparation, absorption, recovery, and adaptation. This review shows that investment in smart city initiatives can enhance the planning and preparation ability. In addition, the adoption of smart solutions and technologies can, among other things, enhance the capacity of cities to predict pandemic patterns, facilitate an integrated and timely response, minimize or postpone transmission of the virus, provide support to overstretched sectors, minimize supply chain disruption, ensure continuity of basic services, and offer solutions for optimizing city operations. These are promising results that demonstrate the utility of smart solutions for enhancing resilience. However, it should be noted that realizing this potential hinges on careful attention to important issues and challenges related to privacy and security, access to open-source data, technological affordance, legal barriers, technological feasibility, and citizen engagement. Despite this, this review shows that further development of smart city initiatives can provide unprecedented opportunities for enhancing resilience to the pandemic and similar future events.

“…[ 25 ] underline how the adoption of blockchain systems as a bridge to ensure cross-communication might overcome the issue of interoperability among different EHR systems and allow the rapid collection and sharing of healthcare data respecting privacy and security. Also pertinent to the focus of this overview, we want to highlight the opportunities of using blockchain for improving the exchange of health records, especially for enhancing patient-centric interoperability and user-centred medical research [ 26 ] and to ensure secure and effective EHR data sharing that allows personal medical data remaining in control of the patient [ 27 ].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has clearly shown that major challenges and threats for humankind need to be addressed with global answers and shared decisions. Data and their analytics are crucial components of such decision-making activities. Rather interestingly, one of the most difficult aspects is reusing and sharing of accurate and detailed clinical data collected by Electronic Health Records (EHR), even if these data have a paramount importance. EHR data, in fact, are not only essential for supporting day-by-day activities, but also they can leverage research and support critical decisions about effectiveness of drugs and therapeutic strategies. In this paper, we will concentrate our attention on collaborative data infrastructures to support COVID-19 research and on the open issues of data sharing and data governance that COVID-19 had made emerge. Data interoperability, healthcare processes modelling and representation, shared procedures to deal with different data privacy regulations, and data stewardship and governance are seen as the most important aspects to boost collaborative research. Lessons learned from COVID-19 pandemic can be a strong element to improve international research and our future capability of dealing with fast developing emergencies and needs, which are likely to be more frequent in the future in our connected and intertwined world.

“…In terms of the role of innovation technology in technology servicces, some systems fail to link hospitals with the patients' medical record, so you may find some patients are being treated in hospitals where they cannot find a previous medical record for the patient, and thus may endanger the patient's life due to the patient's medical information being repeated and the medical record multiplied for them (Rghioui, 2020). This might occure due to the lack of linking the processes among departments so that all the information of the patients are stored in the hospital system.…”

This paper presents a study on innovative digital technology factors affecting UAE healthcare service practices performance. The innovative digital technology factors are clustered in four domains namely systemdevelopment; IT base innovation; technology services and process integration. Data collection was conducted through questionnaire survey among healthcare employees from managers to operational workers in Dibba Hospital, Masafi Hospital, and Fujairah Hospital in UAE. The selection of respondents was carried out in two sampling approaches which are stratified sampling random sampling technique methods. A total of 300 questionnaire sets were distributed but only 281 sets of completed questionnaire were returned for the analysis. This represents the responses rate of 94%. Before conducting the ranking analysis, the collected data was characterised for its reliability and normality patterns and found that the data has achieved the reliability and normality criteria. The ranking analysis found that the most influential innovative digital technology factor is TS2 of the technology services domain. TS2 is concerning the connectivity with an extranet.The second factor is TS3 in the technology services domain which is efficient human resource management system. The third rank is SD2 system development domain which is updates the technological features of existing system to improve healthcare services. The fourth rank is BIN1 in IT base innovation domain which is adds new capabilities to the existing system. Finally, the fifth rank is BIN2 in IT base innovation domain which isnew features are often added to the existing system.
