Abstract:

 Objective: Covid-19 first appeared in 2019. Covid-19 has caused high deaths. A global epidemic was declared as it affected different and many sectors such as health, education and economy. Access to health services has been restricted with the social isolation practice applied to reduce the spread of the epidemic. In this sense, health 4.0 applications enabled the restructuring of health services. Mobile applications and various wearable technology products enabled access to health services by eliminating the concept of time and place. With this study, it was aimed to prioritize the use of health 4.0 application during the covid-19 pandemic process. Materials and Methods: In this study, Analytical Hierarchy Process AHP, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making MCDM techniques, was used. AHP presents decision criteria in a hierarchical structure to analyze complex decision problems. In the study, 3 criteria and 10 sub-criteria were prioritized by comparing them with AHP. Results: Among the health 4.0 applications used in the pandemic, mobile applications have a priority value of 61. The criterion with the second priority value is tele-medicine applications with a rate of 29. The application with the lowest priority value was wearable technologies 10. Conclusion: With this study, it became the most frequently used mobile applications in the field of health in the pandemic. It is thought that Health 4.0 applications will provide various gains for digital product manufacturers, marketers and people who use these applications in case of the continuation of the epidemic. In this sense, conducting a study covering a wide age range with a large sample will help to reach a more general result.

 Giriş ve Amaç: İlk olarak 2019 yılında ortaya çıkan covid-19 yüksek ölümlere neden olarak sağlık başta olmak üzere eğitim, ekonomi gibi farklı ve birçok sektörü etkisi altına alması ile birlikte küresel salgın olarak ilan edilmiştir. Salgın yayılımın azaltılması amacıyla ortaya konulan sosyal izolasyon uygulamasıyla sağlık hizmetlerine erişim de kısıtlanmıştır. Bu anlamda sağlık 4.0 uygulamaları sağlık hizmetlerinin yeniden yapılanmasını sağlamıştır. Mobil uygulamalar ve çeşitli giyilebilir teknoloji ürünleri bu süreçte bireylerin sağlık hizmetlerine zaman ve yer kavramını ortadan kaldırarak erişebilmelerine imkân sağlamıştır. Bu çalışma ile covid-19 pandemi sürecinde sağlık 4.0 uygulaması kullanımının önceliklendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Çok Kriterli Karar Verme ÇKKV tekniklerinden olan Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi AHP kullanılmıştır. AHP, karmaşık karar problemlerini analiz etmek için karar kriterlerini hiyerarşik bir yapıda sunmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen 3 kriter ve 10 alt kriterin AHP ile karşılaştırılarak önceliklendirilmesi sağlanmıştır. Bulgular: Pandemi döneminde kullanılan sağlık 4.0 uygulamaları içerisinde 61 oranı ile mobil uygulamalar öncelikli önem değerine sahip kriter olarak tespit edilmiştir. İkinci öncelik değerine sahip kriter 29 oranı ile tele-tıp uygulamaları olarak tespit edilirken en düşük öncelik değerine sahip uygulama giyilebilir teknolojilere ilişkin 10 olmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile pandemi döneminde sağlık alanında en sık kullanılan mobil uygulamaların olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Kullanılan sağlık 4.0 uygulamalarının salgın döneminin devamı durumunda dijital ürün üreticileri ve pazarlayıcıları ile bu uygulamaları kullanan kişiler için çeşitli kazanımlar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu anlamda büyük örneklem ile geniş yaş aralığını kapsayan kapsamlı bir çalışmanın yapılması daha genel bir sonuca ulaşma konusunda yardımcı olacaktır.
