Priority research and development areas for health crisis management including emerging infectious disease control: An expert questionnaire survey in Japan Hiromi Takahashi-Omoe<p>Health crisis management is becoming increasingly important worldwide, as evident by the most recent COVID-19 pandemic. To identify priority Research and Development (R&amp;D) areas for health crisis management, an expert questionnaire survey using an online, two-round Delphi technique was conducted in Japan in 2019. The analysis results revealed that the top 3 R&amp;D topics that experts considered important were related to infectious disease control, such as a control system for drug-resistant infections, ultra-small sensor, and drug development using alternatives to animal models. It was also revealed that not only biomedical approaches but also R&amp;D in collaboration with IT and social science are considered important by experts. The results of this study might support developing a R&amp;D strategy for health crisis management not only in Japan but also other countries.&nbsp;</p> Global Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Research - Peertechz Publications 2021-02-09 Opinion https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5363.000040 en Copyright © Hiromi Takahashi-Omoe et al.
