Digital Innovations for Pandemic Response in Asia: Lessons for Canada

Exploring the development and rollout of digital technologies deployed in pandemic response and health care for the Public Health Agency of Canada. This report also identifies and examines the enabling policy, legal, institutional, and societal factors facilitating the development and adoption of digital tools for public health.

 

 

This report is one of a five-paper series entitled "Translating Asia Pacific COVID-19 Experiences for Canada". Working alongside a team of three, I contributed to the creation of this report. I led the research and drafting of the Southeast Asian country profiles, exploring each country's use of digital technologies in their COVID-19 response across four distinct categories: Contact Tracing, Monitoring & Surveillance, Distribution of Medical Resources, and Telehealth. These mini case studies formed the foundation for   the policy recommendations provided in the report.
