Abstract:
This review paper examines the role of technological innovations in mitigating winter health challenges in New York City (NYC). The primary objective is to analyze how emerging technologies are integrated into public health strategies to address the unique health risks posed by the winter season in one of the world's most populous urban environments. The methodology involves a comprehensive literature review focusing on recent advancements in technology within the context of public health and urban planning. Key sources include peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and reports on smart city initiatives, climate change impacts, and the implementation of health technologies in NYC. Key findings reveal that the integration of smart city technologies, such as advanced data analytics, IoT devices, and AI-driven solutions, has significantly improved healthcare delivery and emergency response during winter. However, challenges in implementation, particularly in under-resourced settings, highlight the need for tailored, context-driven technological solutions. The impact of climate change on winter health dynamics underscores the importance of innovative urban planning and public health strategies. The potential of emerging technologies, including nanotechnology for air purification and spatial analysis of health data, offers promising avenues for improving public health in urban settings during winter. The review suggests that technological innovations play a crucial role in enhancing the capacity of NYC to manage winter health risks. It recommends increased investment in smart city technologies, support for under-resourced healthcare settings, and the development of climate change adaptation strategies. The evolution of healthcare in winter contexts is increasingly being shaped by these technological advancements, paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable approach to public health in urban environments.
