Abstract: Due to the pandemic of Coronavirus disease, many medical workers like doctors, nurses, and others working in a risky place were infected. The safety and working conditions of those people were not safe enough to prevent them. Moreover, there were also problems about lack of preventative equipment and many healthcare workers experienced stress and pressure while working. As a result of this global pandemic, plenty of technologies were developed to help deal with the problem. This research reviewed healthcare technologies which can be utilized to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 and can also be used to lower other problems faced by healthcare workers as well. I selected the technologies based on the efficiency proven by particular countries using them and analysed whether they can be adopted in Thailand to reduce those problems. Using technologies can boost up the safety environment in hospitals, prevent the spread of disease, reduce the number of infected workers and also provide better duty of care for patients. The stress and working time of medical professionals also decreased.
