GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH

Technology innovation needs to be ensured in every region of the world

The way COVID-19 disrupted economies and societies around the globe unambiguously exposes how health influences every-day life and the society. Science, technology, and innovation (STI) have been triggering many solutions to tackle the pandemic. But in the race to deploy these, wealthier nations have secured the lion’s share, leaving poorer regions ill-equipped to keep the disease at bay. The rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout the planet, both initially and as new variants have emerged, shows how wealthier nations and societies are not immune to the effects of global inequalities.

The same scenario applies to climate change. While lower-income countries initially suffer the harshest effects, the impacts will also create a contagion of problems, including those related to health, all over the world.

To stabilize health globally, the international community must pull together ways to facilitate equitable access to health-related technologies, as well as improve local innovation capacities. The 2030 Agenda has the potential to comprehensibly embrace the issues of this crisis and guides toward recovery from COVID-19.

Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) are playing an essential role in solving the current COVID-19 crisis and will continue to do so for future catastrophes. The pandemic was a catalyst for new developments and faster evolution of vaccines. Tests and pharmaceuticals were innovated at unprecedented speed.

The intensive use of telemedicine and other communication technologies also helped increase the productivity and responsiveness of health systems. Meanwhile, the integration of mathematical sciences for prediction and modeling of essential elements proved to be a valuable resource for health field decision-makers.

The impressive gains achieved were only possible due to significant collaboration between sectors, including the private sector and countries, under coordination by the World Health Organization. But while STI have the potential to embrace universal access, an insupportable duality is being created between those who can afford knowledge and technology and those who cannot. International collaboration is necessary to enhance equity on digital and technology access and to guide strategically STI development for the future.

This session will present lessons learned from the international community about the emergency of the pandemic, the challenges in controlling it, as well as the recovery plans and preparedness for future outbreaks.

Increasingly extreme weather events brought on by global warming are killing hundreds of thousands and disrupting millions of lives while threatening healthcare systems and facilities when they are most needed. At the same time, changes in climate and biodiversity loss are challenging food security and increasing the prevalence of many diseases.

COVID-19 allowed to review infectious diseases surveillance strategies to incorporate environmental and animal components into health assessment – the One Health concept. Through previous pandemics, humanity learned valuable lessons, such as what triggers the emergence of a new pathogen, how to monitor it, and how to block the transmission. But those improvements were not enough to keep us from struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic. The world cannot sustain a repetition of these pandemic impacts. To avoid future outbreaks, different actions are necessary. Sophisticated technology and modern genetic tools enable more efficient monitoring of wildlife pathogens and can serve as valuable tools to build pandemic preparedness and response.

The battle against COVID-19 is far from over. At the same time, our unsustainable relationship with nature is far from fixed. If the response to COVID-19 does not align with national climate change strategies, the world will not be able to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement. Therefore, health and health systems will become increasingly more damaged.

This session will present how science, technology, and innovation (STI) can integrate environmental parameters and health data to predict diseases and the importance of forming partnerships, tackling inequalities and strengthening the links between environmental policy goals and public health to win this battle and prepare for new outbreaks.

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated how quickly disease can spread in a globalised world. Technology played a crucial role in shortening the time to develop and produce medical devices, diagnostics kits and vaccines to deaccelerate COVID-19 deaths.

However, access to these technologies is not equitable around the world. Low availability, typically in low-income countries, results in lengthening the duration of the pandemic and making room for the emergence of new variants.

This session will examine the existing international collaborative framework which has been created to advance technologies for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. It will also discuss how the production of health devices can be speed up via technology and international cooperation, to reduce inequalities and promote universal access to health.

The intensifying and varied challenges our world is facing all require meaningful solutions. These solutions derive from the combined power of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and the convergence of a wide range of technology domains.

For this matter, the 2030 Agenda’s Technology Facilitation Mechanism (TFM) joined forces with the United Nations to develop the Global Pilot Programme on STI for SDGs Roadmaps. Another initiative, the UN Research Roadmap for COVID-19 Recovery is a tool that aims to catalyze a worldwide research capacity for COVID-19 recovery effort. The WHO’S R&B Blueprint was another relevant roadmap that has helped facing the COVID-19 crisis with relevant results.

Insights from the full range of disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, health sciences, social sciences and the humanities, are more needed than ever. Roadmaps can ease the identification of existing knowledge and gaps. They can also improve coordination and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and preparedness for future health emergencies.

The way health care is organised is going through a period of rapid change. Among the many adjustments, the transition to more integrated care is undoubtably one that will have a profound impact on how hospitals are organised in the future. Managing the quality of these integrated care processes will pose several challenges. Given the multiple levels of care concerned, this will require multidisciplinary cooperation and smart investments in new technology.

Decisions about building and organising the hospitals of the future will need to consider how the UN’s SDGs will be implemented, so that high quality care can be delivered in a sustainable way.

Radiology plays a key role in diagnosis and management of disease, providing individual patient data which enables personalisation of therapy. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence will enable it to be carried out faster, as well as more accurately, efficiently and sustainably. This will free up radiologists’ time for multidisciplinary meetings, policy making and education, while quality of diagnosis in regions that are short-staffed will be enhanced.

Hospitals will simultaneously evolve into high tech integration hubs and guest houses, the design of which will largely be determined by the expectations and experiences of patients, their relatives and their caregivers.

Data about each patient’s journey will have to be gathered at every step and made available in a safe, reliable and relevant way to all stakeholders involved in the care processes.

Beyond the bricks & mortar, the next generation of hospital control centres will also look significantly different due to this radical shift.

Within today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, hospitals need business models which are both flexible and dynamic. Keeping stakeholders satisfied will require a rethinking of processes around things such as alternative forms of hospital financing, patient empowerment and quality management systems. The complex nature of integrated care will require the presence of more specialised caregivers, as well as physicians and nurses who are capable of coordinating it. New roles, such as disease-specific case managers and medical engineers, will become a key component. To ensure health professionals continue to regard hospitals as an attractive workplace, hospital management needs to provide a comfortable, innovative and rewarding work environment.

Future-proof solutions, inspired by state-of-the-art technology in other industries, are already available to enable the innovation of both clinical and supporting processes in health care. The hospital of the future should provide an environment where innovative technological and organisational techniques can easily be deployed and integrated into existing processes. Doing so requires managerial structures for addressing potential roadblocks and technical or scientifical gaps which hinder this.
