Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Control of Infectious Diseases in the Post-COVID Era: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic vulnerabilities in public health infrastructure, underscoring the urgency for innovation in disease surveillance and emergency response. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of public health interventions. Yet, there remains a limited understanding of how AI has been applied in real-world infectious disease control and who is contributing to its development and implementation.

Objective

This scoping review aimed to map current applications of AI in public health practice for infectious disease control since 2020. Specifically, it examined (1) the types of AI tools in use, (2) their purposes and implementation contexts, and (3) the professional and in
