It can spread from person to person in a very short time, and in fact, the health workers are at greater risk of infection because of the patients who carry the disease. In the 21st century, where everyone is connected through digital technologies, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a critical role in improving health care for individuals and larger communities. ICT has currently been severed in a variety of application domains which signifies its importance as a major technological paradigm, and it has drawn higher attention for its potential to alleviate the burden on healthcare systems caused by a rise in chronic diseases, aging and increased population and pandemic situations. This paper surveys and offers substantial knowledge about how effective ICT Healthcare strategy can be used to manage global pandemics by presenting a four-phased framework, which can be deployed to alleviate the strain on healthcare during a pandemic. In addition, we discuss how ICT powered technologies can be used towards managing a pandemic during the transformation of simple disease outbreak into a global pandemic. Over the years, there has been a huge doubt among scientists and medical 3 researchers as to the exact definition of a pandemic, but one thing that 4 everyone agrees is that it describes the widespread occurrence of a disease 5 that spawns large geographical areas, which people have less resistance and 6 no remedies available for ailment [3] . For example, cholera, bionic plague, 7 smallpox, and influenza are some of the most devastating disease outbreaks 8 that has occurred in human history [19] . The impact of a global pandemic 9 is far beyond the scope of public health and medical care due to the heavy 10 burden it will pose on the healthcare resources. It brings mega-scale economic 11 losses and causes social inconsistency and instability [35] . 12 There is no question that globalization in the 21st century has changed 13 our relationships with the biological world radically. As a result, a novel 14 pathogenic infection discovered in one part of the globe can be easily carried to relieve the strain on healthcare systems whilst continuing to provide high-33 quality care for contagious patients. With the aid of ICT and related tech-34 nology, the majority of the issues associated with aging populations, the 35 rise of chronic illnesses, the lack of medical staff can be solved with a min-36 imum effort. Modern measurement devices for medical treatment, such as 37 blood pressure, blood glucose level, heart rate, body temperature, and vari-38 ous wearable incorporate communication capabilities [39] . They can join and 39 communicate with the remote networks wireless so that patients can be mon-40 itored remotely, or medical staff is aware of the patient's condition regardless 41 of the patient's location [42] . As such, ICT will play a key role in strength- In order to understand about a pandemic and how it can be successfully 79 managed, firstly the occurrence of a pandemic needed to be described. Based involve in pandemic management through the state of the art review, we will 178 now present our strategic framework for effective pandemic management. We 179 have identified that the following key components needed to be included and ICT can also be used to ensure patient compliance with the quarantine. Public health workers can keep track of which patients remained in quaran-367 tine and which patients infringed the quarantine. The use of GPS-enabled 368 wearables would also help to monitor them and determine who else may be 369 exposed because of the breach. In short, ICT has the potential to affect any part of the health sector. The 371 applications of ICT in healthcare has many benefits, such as greater access 372 to complete and reliable patient data, which gathers information to improve 373 diagnosis, avoid mistakes, and thereby save valuable response times. This 374 also leads to quality care for patients.
