In times of crisis, organizations need to quickly adapt to unexpected disruptions and prevent the halt of their ongoing workflows. The COVID-19 pandemic had wracked havoc across economies worldwide, and the associated toll of lost lives, together with the incommensurable financial losses on the global markets will always be remembered as the defining grim consequences of this crisis that humanity faced. As a side effect, the pressure that it exerted over businesses worldwide has given rise to new ways on how digital tools and can be leveraged to combat intrinsic pandemic effects, such as limited mobility of people and goods, or various types of supply chain inconsistencies. As a result, in the context of medicine, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transition to the concept of “digital health” in health care systems worldwide. In this work we provide an overview of various digital tools and solutions reported in the frame of public and private health care sectors, which have been successfully used during the COVID-19 pandemic as solutions for the resilience of healthcare sectors worldwide.
