Leveraging Advanced Technologies to Support Fasting During Disasters

In recent years, the role of advanced technologies in various fields has expanded dramatically, offering innovative solutions to longstanding challenges (۱). One area where these technologies hold significant potential is in supporting individuals who observe fasting during disasters (۲). Disasters, which have been increasing in frequency and intensity globally, often lead to disrupted food and water availability, forcing many individuals into involuntary fasting. In such circumstances, people may also engage in intentional fasting for religious, cultural, or health reasons, further complicating their nutritional needs during emergencies (۳). These scenarios highlight the importance of addressing not only fasting practices but also broader nutritional issues, including food availability, water sustainability, and associated health hazards, in the context of disasters. This letter aims to discuss how advanced technologies, such as telemedicine and mobile applications, can provide crucial support to those who fast in these critical times, ensuring their well-being and adherence to fasting practices.
