Sažetak
On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) as the result of an outbreak of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was recognized as a pandemic on 11 March 2020 (WHO, 2020a). As a result of the pandemic, the workload of healthcare staff around the world has increased dramatically as they face unprecedented challenges in dealing with the rapidly growing numbers of persons infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19) who require urgent assistance from multiple domains. Biomedical engineers from industry, academia and research centres have collaborated with multidisciplinary experts to develop and provide innovative and speedy solutions for appropriate testing, diagnosis, treatment, isolation and contact tracing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
