Prime Minister Pham Minh Chin also claimed that technology was among the three heads of COVID-19 strategy in the new period.

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology PT Dewey, who is also the head of the rapid response information team of the National Steering Committee for the Prevention and Control of COVID-19, said the team is still applying techniques to assess the situation and predict the development of an epidemic in the world as in Vietnam. Create a mechanism to monitor entries and quarantined people; Develop response scenarios for special cases.

Research the anti-COVID service

Regarding the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, a group of scientists from the National University of Ho Chi Minh City Medical School have published a new study on technological solutions that combine IoT technology. and artificial intelligence to control people in quarantine areas and gathering places.

For its part, the BKAV Group (a company working in the fields of network and software security) has developed the Bluezone application – an application for detecting contacts with people infected with the Coronavirus, which plays an important role in the prevention and control of the Coronavirus. COVID-19.

In addition, companies with extensive experience in converting scientific research results into commercial products, in the spirit of “anti-epidemic is like fighting the enemy”, have created many high-quality scientific and technological products for epidemic prevention and control.

In particular, the medical robot system that transports high-risk patients to the isolation area to replace the medical personnel has been put into operation. It transports food, medicine, and basic necessities and also collects trash, which helps reduce contact.

Technology is arguably the “spearhead” of the COVID-19 strategy in the new period. One of the important reasons for the control of COVID-19 in Vietnam is the presence of a team of highly qualified scientists who are well trained through the assigned scientific and technological tasks.
