Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has result in unprecedented challenges for the manufacturing and service sectors. Further, it has also tremendously affected the global healthcare sector, which is seen in the surge of demand in personal protective equipment, ventilators, masks, medicines, etc. Furthermore, according to Menear (2020), the world population is projected to be at least 8.5 billion people by 2050, including a much higher elderly population. This calls for an urgent, critical evaluation and upgrade of the healthcare sector. In this regard, an implementation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies is proposed to fulfill the sector’s current and future needs. A detailed and systematic review has been conducted using PRISMA, which highlights the various I4.0 technologies for the early detection, control, and management of the healthcare supply chain. Finally, it is imperative that I4.0 be properly implemented for better management of the global healthcare sector. The study also highlights policy implications for stakeholders.

整合工业4.0，实现后covid时代医疗保健行业的智能和可持续未来

新冠肺炎疫情给制造业和服务业带来了前所未有的挑战。此外，它还极大地影响了全球医疗保健部门，这可以从个人防护设备、呼吸机、口罩、药品等需求的激增中看出。此外，根据Menear(2020)的数据，到2050年，世界人口预计将至少达到85亿，其中老年人口将大幅增加。这就要求对卫生保健部门进行紧急、关键的评估和升级。在这方面，建议实施工业4.0 (I4.0)技术，以满足该部门当前和未来的需求。使用PRISMA进行了详细和系统的审查，其中重点介绍了用于早期检测、控制和管理医疗保健供应链的各种工业4.0技术。最后，为了更好地管理全球医疗保健行业，必须正确实施工业4.0。该研究还强调了对利益相关者的政策影响。
