The U.S. is facing a surge in four major viruses — Influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and norovirus. Among these, the norovirus is particularly concerning due to its high transmission rate and the lack of immunity towards its new strain.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The convergence of these four viruses presents a notable challenge for public health and highlights the importance of robust health data management systems. Developers should note the potential increase in demand for health-related applications that track symptoms, provide resources, and offer infection control information. Additionally, IT infrastructure supporting healthcare must be resilient and scalable to handle the surges in data and user engagement during such health crises.
