Technology Innovation for Sustainable Development of Healthcare and Disaster …

This book provides holistic case studies of technology development, examples of its complexities and an in-depth analysis from the perspective of information infrastructure. Natural disasters such as cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes have disrupted the lives of people all over the world, particularly in Asia. In order to manage disasters and mitigate the damage, many technologies-surveillance systems, for instance-have been developed. An example of natural disaster is the ongoing devastation caused by COVID-19, which highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of disaster management, ...

Prof Pradeep Ray is the founder of the Centre For Entrepreneurship (CFE) at the University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute since 2017. He is a Fellow of IET. He established the research theme of Technology Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development that led to the recent book "Technology Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development" by Springer Nature (eds Pradeep Ray and Rajib Shaw), Singapore in 2022. He has also been an Honorary Professor in the UNSW Medicine and Health in Australia since 2016. Prior to 2016, he established and led for 10 years from 2006 the Asia-Pacific ubiquitous Healthcare research Centre (APuHC) that was designated as the WHO Collaborating Centre (WHOCC) on eHealth at UNSW in 2013. Pradeep was a Professor and the Director of this WHOCC from 2013-2016 and led many projects on eHealth including those involving disaster management with collaborations across several countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, EU etc.). He founded IEEE Healthcom (eHealth Networking, Applications and Services Conference) in 1999. In his current role in China, he has been leading multi-country projects, such as mHealth for Belt and Road Region (2018-2020) leading to a book including a Section on mHealth for disasters with 4 chapters led by Dr. Soshino and Dr. Geumpana "Mobile Technologies for Delivering Healthcare in Remote, Rural or Developing Regions", published by IET Press, London in 2020. Rajib Shaw is a professor in Graduate School of Media and Governance of Keio University, Japan. He is co-founder of a Delhi based social entrepreneur startup, Resilience Innovation Knowledge Academy (RIKA), and chair of the board of two Japanese non-government agencies: SEEDS Asia and CWS Japan. He is the Co-chair of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Asia Pacific Science Technology Advisory Group (AP-STAG), and CLA for IPCC's 6th Assessment Report. Professor Shaw has 67 books and more than 400 research papers in the field of environment, disaster management and climate change. He is the editor in chief of Progress in Disaster Science. Professor Shaw is the recipient of "Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award (PBSA)" in 2021 for his contribution in education sector. PBSA is the highest honor conferred on overseas Indian and person of Indian origin from the President of India. He also received United Nations Sasakawa Award in 2022 for his lifetime contributions in the field of disaster risk reduction. Dr. Yasuhiro Soshino is the head of the Humanitarian Technology unit at the Disaster Management Research Institute in the Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing and currently leads the world's first hydrogen ambulance project with Toyota Motor Corporation. Dr. Soshino has headed various projects on humanitarian technologies for disaster management, with a focus on supporting the self-help efforts of disaster-affected people by using mobile technologies. His five inventions for motivating people toward their evacuation have been patented in Japan, the US, China and EU countries. Dr. Soshino also created the evacuation support system using Mobility as a Service (MaaS) technology, which was patented in 2019. He is a member of the Field Assessment and Coordination Team (FACT) of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Dr. Anirban Dutta received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Case Western Reserve University, USA, in 2009.
