Abstract Swift data collection and response across borders become urgent issues in various fields, and the public health sector is no exception. It is necessary to develop and disseminate elemental technology to realize an environment that enables high-quality data collection and management conforming clinical research proto col; collection, integration, and analysis of data in various scenes, and can be released in real-time through standardization of information content and exchange methods. In this paper, we introduce the historical background and development philosophy of FHIR and CDISC standards as the main-stream medical infor mation standards and the use cases in the field of public health with these standards. A promising approach in the field of public health in the future is to operate FHIR for collecting information originating from healthcare settings and CDISC standards for surveillance in general.
