Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically transformed healthcare systems globally, therefore improving health information technology sector. From the moment that pandemic has broken out, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become absolutely necessary for the continuation of healthcare services. Furthermore, data digitization has enabled the extraction of meaningful insights through big data analytics. E-Health, encompassing a wide range of ICTs used in healthcare, has become a critical component in addressing the challenges posed by the pandemic. The main goal of this paper is to examine the impact of COVID-19 on health information technology and explores the rapid growth of e-Health and big data-driven innovation in healthcare processes. Through the analysis of the major tools, techniques, and innovative processes that have emerged in response to the pandemic, this paper has the aim of highlight their potential to improve system efficiency and enhance citizen health. We explore the current state of e-Health and big data in healthcare and discuss the future implications of these technologies for the sector. Our analysis underscores the need for continued investments in health information technology and highlights the role of policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers in fostering innovation and driving positive change in the sector.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
