Thanks to the advances in communication technologies, the costs of connecting to our beloved ones over distance have become negligible. The provision of bandwidth, access to connectivity, and integration of cameras into almost any mobile device allows us to perceive what is happening with our communication counterparts visually. The emergence of telepresence robots even provides us with a remote presence in distant locations. Virtual and augmented environments blend virtual information worlds and physical settings into each other. All these developments together allow better communication and collaboration over distance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an accompanying cultural and organizational transformation has also been triggered, allowing us to embrace and leverage these technological developments and thus enabling a new way of working. Employees fulfilling their duties from their homes has become the new normal. The traditional office with assigned seating is getting replaced by coworking spaces used for specific occasions, rather than being used on a daily basis. Business travel is losing importance due to in-person gatherings changing to online meetings. In a nutshell, the constraints of space determining presence at a specific location are mitigated by communication technologies that are bringing people together virtually over distance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated pervasive computing research and development resulting in new, impactful public health tools, including digital contact tracing, crowd dynamics analysis, and symptom tracking, which are broadly recognized by the public and expert groups alike. In the post-COVID age, focus has shifted to establish a level of pandemic preparedness. Across all preparedness measures, there is the need for interoperable data, pervasive computing tools, and data analysis methods. Considering the open technical challenges, further pervasive computing research is a key to fill the opportunity created over the last years and eventually save more lives at global scale. In this special issue, we capture new technical approaches to the pervasive tool inventory that help dealing with a pandemic situation, but also investigations that highlight opportunities for further research. We aim to motivate continued research and discussion of new ideas on pervasive computing for public health tools that spurs pandemic preparedness.
