Abstract:
As disasters become more frequent and severe, integrating smart health technologies into disaster preparedness has become essential for enhancing healthcare system resilience. This paper explores the role of technologies such as telemedicine, the Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, Electronic Health Records (EHRs), mobile health applications, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving disaster management. These innovations enable real-time monitoring, remote healthcare delivery, and predictive analytics, which are crucial for mitigating the health impacts of disasters. The paper also addresses key challenges, including issues of interoperability, data security, and resistance to adoption. Case studies, such as AI's role in managing COVID-19 and IoT's application in natural disasters, demonstrate the effectiveness of these technologies. The research concludes by highlighting future directions, focusing on advancements in AI and IoT, as well as the importance of partnerships to overcome existing barriers and strengthen disaster preparedness.
