Information technologies and artificial intelligence in the fight against pandemics

The aim of the work is to show the full range of measures to prevent a pandemic both at the level of laboratory research and the application of information technology at the stage of early detection of viral diseases, and at the level of organizational and legal measures on the part of the state, corporations and international institutions. The article discusses various approaches to early diagnosis of viral diseases, in which the base of virus samples play a critical role, in particular, in the diagnosis of COVID-19.3 Examples of technologies developed by the giants of the information industry to identify signs of COVID-19 disease in the process of self-diagnosis are given.4 Remote medical monitoring allows round-the-clock medical monitoring of cases of COVID-19 disease in conditions of home isolation, thereby reducing the need for infection protection systems and reducing the impact on healthcare providers.5
