Objectives:
We herein outline the planning process and core components of a project aimed at improving healthcare providers' infection-response capabilities in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 endemic era, providing adaptable and field-ready technologies for diverse medical environments.
Methods:
Project materials including planning documents, R&D plans, and prior studies were systematically reviewed to identify key directions, technological needs, and field requirements to strengthen medical institutions' infection response systems.
Results:
This project analyzes efforts to advance applied technologies and perform field validation of these technologies to support infectious disease specialty hospitals and long-term care facilities, focusing on improving infrastructure, systems, and equipment necessary to enhance preparedness for future infectious disease threats.
Conclusions:
This initiative is expected to reinforce sustainable infection response system development across healthcare institutions by driving tailored technology development and real-world validation, with continuing refinement in response to policy shifts and frontline needs.
