BACKGROUND
COVID- 19 pandemics has affected the life of every human being in this world dramatically. The daily routine of the human has been changed to an uncertain extent. Some of the people are affected by the COVID-19, and some of the people are in fear of this epidemic. This has completely changed the thorough process of the people, and now, they are looking for solutions of this pandemic at different levels of the human addressable areas. These areas include medicine, vaccination, precautions, psychology, technology-assisted solutions like information technology, etc. There is a need to think in the direction of technology compliant solutions in the era of COVID-19 pandemic.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this paper is to discuss the existing views and focus on the recommendations
for the enhancement in the current situation from COVID-19.
METHODS
Based on the literature,
perceptions, challenges, and viewpoints, the following opinions are suggested to the research
community for the prevention and elimination of global pandemic COVID-19. The research
community irrespective of the discipline focus on the following:
1. The comprehensive thought process for the designing of the internet of things (IoT)
based solutions for healthcare applications used in the prevention from COVID-19.
2. Strategies for restricting outbreak of COVID-19 with the emerging trends in Ehealthcare
applications. Which should be the optimal strategy to deal with a global
pandemic?
3. Explorations on the data analysis as derived from the advanced data mining and
warehousing associated with IoT. Besides, cloud-based technologies can be
incorporated for the global spread of healthcare-related information to serve the
community of different countries in the world.
4. The most adaptable method and technology can be deployed for the development of
innovative solutions for COVID-19 related people like smart, patient-centric
healthcare information systems.
5. Implementation of smart solutions like wearable technology for mask and PPE along
with their disposal can be considered to deal with a global epidemic like COVID-19.
This will lead to the manufacturing and incorporation of wearable technologies in the
healthcare sector by industries.
6. A Pervasive thought process can be standardized for dealing with global pandemic
like COVID-19. In addition, research measures should be considered for the security
and privacy challenges of IoT services carrying healthcare-related information.
These areas and directions are diverse but, in parallel, the need for healthy bonding and
correlation between the people like researchers and scientists irrespective of their discipline.
The discipline may vary from medical, engineering, computing, finance, and management,
etc. In addition, standard protocols and interoperability measures can be worked out for the
exchange of information in the global pandemic situations.
RESULTS
Recommendations Discussed
CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, the opinions have been discussed in the multi-disciplinary areas of research like
COVID-19 challenges, medicines and vaccines, precautionary measures, technology
assistance, and the Internet of Things. These opinions and discussion serve as an integrated
platform for researchers and scientists to think about future perspectives to deal with
healthcare-related COVID-19 pandemic situation. This includes the original, significant, and
visionary automation based ideas, innovations, scientific designs, and applications focusing
on Inter-disciplinary technology compliant solutions like IoT, vaccinations, manufacturing,
preventive measures, etc. for the improvement of efficiency and reliability of existing
healthcare systems. For the future, there is dire need to strengthen the technology not only in
the one area but also for the interdisciplinary areas to recover from the pandemic situation
rapidly and serve the community.
