Abstract

As COVID-19, which occurred at the end of 2019, has become a global pandemic, it has emerged as an unprecedented event that quickly destroys a nation's medical and healthcare system in both developed and developing countries. In the 21st century, most of the civil society that aimed for hyperconnected society is facing a new crisis that has not been experienced so far. Indeed, lack of personal protective equipment, isolation of clustered communities, disruption of medical systems necessary for diagnosis and treatment, and disruption of educational and economic activities due to social isolation are emerging. Since the COVID-19 has occurred, many of the difficulties that have occurred in the past six months indicate the basic infrastructure a society should have particularly in a pandemic. These include personal protective equipment (PPE), decontamination and quarantine tools essential for effective response, rapid and precise large-scale diagnosis, medical devices required for patient care, and identification and fast and wide on-line networks that can be used in social isolation. In this first part, we would like to introduce some representative examples of 1) personal protective equipment, 2) prevention of personal and community health, 3) social response through big data and networks within the framework of appropriate technology.

2019년말 발생한 COVID-19이 세계적 대유행으로 확산되면서, 선진국과 개발도상국을 가리지 않고 전세계의 의료 시스템을 동시에 무너뜨리는 초유의 사태로 나타나고 있다. 대부분의 시민 사회에서 개인의 보호장구의 부족, 클러스터가 된 지역사회의 격리, 진단과 치료에 필요한 의료시스템의 중단, 사회적 격리로 인한 교육 및 경제활동의 중단 등, 초연결 사회를 지향하던 시민사회가 경험해보지 못한 새로운 위기에 직면하고 있다. 효과적인 대응에 필수적인 개인 보호장비 (PPE), 제독 및 방역 도구, 신속하고 정밀한 대규모 진단, 환자 치료에 필요한 의료기기, 사회적 고립에서 활용될 수 있는 정보의 분석과 연결망 등은 선진국과 개발도상국을 가리지 않고 COVID-19 상황에서 필수적인 사회적 인프라임이 확인되고 있다. 본 Part 1에서는 최근 적정기술로 위기를 극복하기위한 개인보호장구와 개인 및 지역사회의 방역에 대한 사례, 그리고 ICT를 이용한 빅데이터 및 정보활용기술등을 적정기술의 테두리안에서 소개하고자 한다.
