Interdisciplinary Approach to Monkeypox Prevention: Integrating Nanobiosensors, Nanovaccines, Artificial Intelligence, Visual Arts, and Social Sciences

To effectively address crisis emergence of new virus such as monkeypox, a collective and collaborative effort between scientists, engineers, innovators, and artists from all ages, regions, and diverse fields is required. This review explores a holistic approach to addressing the monkeypox crisis by integrating nanobiosensors, artificial intelligence, visual arts, humanities, and social sciences. Traditional diagnostic methods are often limited by time, accessibility, and accuracy, but the advancement of point-of-care smart nanobiosensors offers a promising shift toward rapid, precise, and accessible diagnostics. They enhance the ability to screen, diagnose, and monitor monkeypox infections efficiently, contributing to better disease management. Beyond technological innovation, the essential role of arts, humanities, and social sciences in fostering public engagement, understanding, and acceptance of new diagnostic tools is emphasized. Visual arts can illustrate scientific concepts, making them more relatable, while storytelling through various media can reduce stigma and promote preventive measures. Social sciences provide insights into cultural attitudes, behaviors, and public health challenges, ensuring that technological solutions are effectively integrated into diverse communities. By combining these disciplines, this review presents a comprehensive framework for a more resilient global health system that aligns with One Health principles, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
