From smart diagnostic devices that detect disease in minutes to AI-driven systems that predict outbreaks before they happen, the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming medicine into a connected, proactive ecosystem. Discover how projects like EPOCA are turning innovation into action — linking biosensors, AI, and ethical data sharing to deliver faster diagnoses, stronger healthcare systems, and safer communities worldwide.

Ebola has been one of the most feared infectious diseases in recent history, claiming thousands of lives and exposing vulnerabilities in global health systems. From the devastating West Africa outbreak (2014–2016) to ongoing cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the fight against Ebola has provided invaluable lessons for the global health community. These lessons are not just about how to respond but, more importantly, how to prepare for and prevent future outbreaks.

Global health systems are navigating an era marked by complexity, uncertainty, and interconnectivity. From zoonotic spillovers to antimicrobial resistance, today's public health threats demand faster, smarter, and more collaborative responses than ever before. Within this challenging environment, few technologies hold as much promise as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
