Abstract
Leveraging technology is a boost to healthcare as evidenced by literature. Addressing concerns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through deploying technology is an option to be seriously considered while framing the pathway forward. While AMR is a concern across all age groups it is becoming a vital concern for the paediatric population due to the longer nature and the potentially serious consequences it can have across the life span of the individual. This chapter addresses the increased risk posed by AMR right from the child in the womb. The risk has multiplied manifold due to the increased reliance on antibiotics which plays on the parent’s desire for quick healthcare improvements during a child's illness episodes. The close link between nutrition and AMR further aggravates the scenario for the paediatric population. All this multiplies the healthcare challenges posed by AMR among the paediatric population. It is in this context that the diversity of technology solutions offers a way to address the manifold challenges. This chapter provides a detailed overview of this technology options classified into five broad areas of AMR databses; Data and storage solutions: EMR and Laboratory technology: genome sequencing; AMR Apps and Artificial Intelligence Solution for Physician Assistance in Diagnosis and Dosage. This chapter concludes with a five point call to action agenda for addressing AMR challenges in peaditric population by leveraging technology.
