Abstract: This research investigates the pivotal role of technology in enhancing disaster preparedness and response within healthcare settings. Employing a systematic review approach, empirical studies focusing on the impact of technology were scrutinized, excluding qualitative research. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, and CINAHL were systematically searched using defined keywords related to technology, disaster preparedness, and healthcare response. The systematic review process filtered an initial 3000 studies down to 15 relevant ones meeting the inclusion criteria. These studies encompassed diverse aspects of technological integration, including telemedicine, blockchain, social media, and AI-driven predictive models, revealing their multifaceted contributions to disaster management. The findings underscored the instrumental role of technology in proactive disaster planning, resource allocation, remote patient care, and real-time communication during crises. Additionally, these technologies exhibited the potential for revolutionizing healthcare systems' resilience and adaptability in emergency situations. The discussion highlighted the varied applications of technology in disaster scenarios, emphasizing the need for continual innovation, staff training, and policy implementation for effective integration. Moreover, the conclusions drawn emphasized the critical role of technology in shaping the future landscape of disaster preparedness in healthcare.
