Abstract / Description
The frequency of emerging infectious diseases have exposed the limitations of traditional response models, which are increasingly inadequate for contemporary prevention and control needs. History has repeatedly demonstrated the necessity of multi-disciplinary collaboration. Advances in multiple fields and technological revolutions now provide new tools to address these challenges. "Infectious Diseases+" (ID+) is an interdisciplinary integration concept that centers on infectious disease prevention and control. We introduce ID+ as an innovative paradigm for next-generation epidemic control, featuring: (a) three theoretical breakthroughs vs. conventional methods, (b) cross-disciplinary applications from AI-driven prediction to vaccine equity governance, and (c) validated pediatric use cases. Future scaling pathways are also discussed.
