A�4�21 AHG-DT4HE Output 1: Guidance on digital technologies for COVID
health emergency
Summary: This document describes the diverse nature of addressing a pandemic such as
COVID-19 and proposes to set up a guidance on how to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and
other digital technologies to combat COVID-19 and other health emergencies. This document
proposes a framework for AI and digital interventions targeted towards public health emergency.
It aims at identifying best practices and use cases on AI and other digital technologies to
combat COVID-19. The use cases were collected and classified following the emergency
life cycle stages framework. It also discusses the technical feasibility, digital governance, and
performance evaluation on digital response to COVID-19 and other health emergencies. The
document is developed under the ad-hoc working group on digital technologies on COVID
health emergency. It can act as a response from FG-AI4H on many global calls for action to
leverage AI and other digital technologies in combating COVID-19, to provide experience
sharing and collaboration mechanisms for various stakeholders to build global dialogues and
cooperation on digital projects on general health emergencies.
