Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology (IT) has ushered in transformative changes across various sectors, including healthcare. This paper explores how innovative IT tools and technologies are revolutionizing the management and control of infectious diseases. By integrating digital solutions such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, telemedicine, and mobile health applications, healthcare systems can enhance disease surveillance, improve diagnostic accuracy, and streamline treatment protocols. These technologies enable real-time monitoring and early detection of outbreaks, facilitate personalized treatment plans, and foster better communication between healthcare providers and patients. The paper also addresses the challenges and limitations of implementing these IT solutions, including data security concerns, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and the digital divide. Through case studies and current research, this review highlights the significant impact of IT innovations on infectious disease control and offers insights into future directions for research and development in this evolving field.
