Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Public Health Innovations
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented demands on healthcare systems globally.
  • Shortages in essential supplies like testing kits, ventilators, and personal protective equipment (PPE) were critical challenges.
  • Rapid development of new technologies was spurred by these urgent needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare emerging technologies developed to combat the spread of COVID-19.
  • To analyze engineering characteristics and social impact of these innovations.
  • To identify areas for improvement in pandemic response technologies.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of news articles and scientific reports published between 2020-2021 using keywords such as "COVID-19 technology" and "COVID-19 invention."
  • Screening and shortlisting of 150 articles to a final review of 23.
  • Categorization of innovations into personal protective equipment (PPE), testing methods, and medical treatments.

Main Results:

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) innovations focused on additive manufacturing, intelligent feedback, and eco-friendly designs.
  • Testing methods (molecular and antigen) aimed for increased sensitivity and reduced turnaround times, though safety and efficiency require further validation.
  • Medical treatment innovations, particularly for ventilators, faced challenges in rapid production scaling.

Conclusions:

  • Technologies developed during the pandemic offer valuable insights for future public health crises.
  • Increased national reserves of critical medical supplies are essential for better pandemic preparedness.
