Smart city use case collection and analysis - Managing public health emergencies in smart cities - Part 2 : Use case analysis

Apstrakt

This document describes and analyses a comprehensive set of high-level scenarios of how smart cities can best respond to public health emergencies, and strengthen their “Urban Immune System”, using evidence from as many countries as possible. It covers use cases related to the prevention, the control and the successful ending of public health emergencies, and to dealing with the longer-term harm that these may cause. It considers a wide range of different scenarios and reviews both the management challenges and the range of technology solutions, including the use of IoT, 5G, AI, Big Data, and Cloud Computing, available in each of them, in order to provide a comprehensive outline of the standardization requirements to develop an effective Urban Immune System. The public health emergencies envisaged are those relating to pandemics resulting from novel forms of disease, for which there is no natural immunity within the population and no tried and tested treatment. However, some of its provisions will be helpful to dealing with pandemics of existing diseases such as typhoid and cholera brought on through natural disasters or war. This document will provide useful information to International and national Standards Development Organizations and thus facilitate and promote the development of the smart city standards required.
