The study proposes a public health information system design that can support the Philippine community in general and the Department of Health in its battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that the proposed system is timely in its features and effective in user adoption, the paper leveraged the requirements information from India's response to the Delta variant and then benchmarked the innovative COVID-19 technological solutions and welladopted applications in recent years. The result points to a potentially faster, more convenient, easier to adopt, and better data solution that can be reused for upcoming pandemics and can also be extended for natural disasters.
