Space Technology to Address Possible Future Pandemics

Space technology can help in the prevention, management, and mitigation of the effects of a pandemic. Space technology can provide telemedicine services to the population in remote and marginalized areas, track the affected population and prevent new infections, as well as predict new outbreaks of a disease, among other things. Therefore, it is important to promote its development and dissemination, as well as international cooperation on the matter, in order to be better prepared to face the effects of the next pandemic.
