Abstract :
The IoT can lead to disruptive healthcare innovation. Research articles on IoT
in healthcare and COVID-19 pandemics are thus researched in order to discover
the potential of this technology. This literature-based research may help
professionals to explore solutions to associated issues and battle the COVID-19
epidemic. Using a process diagram, IoT’s significant accomplishments were
briefly evaluated. Then seven critical IoT technologies that look useful in
healthcare during the COVID-19 Pandemic are identified and illustrated.
Finally, in the COVID-19 Pandemic, potential fundamental IoT applications
were identified for the medical industry with a short explanation. The present
predicament has opened up a fresh avenue to creativity in our everyday lives.
The Internet of Things is an up-and-coming technology that enhances and gives
better solutions in the medical area, such as appropriate medical record-
keeping, sample, device integration, and cause of sickness. IoT’s sensor-based
technology gives a remarkable ability to lower the danger of intervention in
challenging circumstances and is helpful for the pandemic type COVID-19. In
the sphere of medicine, IoT’s emphasis is on helping to treat diverse COVID-19
situations accurately. It facilitates the work of the surgeon by reducing risks
and enhancing overall performance. Using this technology, physicians may
readily identify changes in the COVID-190 s vital parameters. These
information-based services provide new prospects for healthcare as they
advance towards the ideal technique for an information system to adapt world-
class outcomes by improving hospital treatment systems. Medical students
may now be better taught and led in the future for the identification of
sickness. Proper use of IoT may assist handle several medical difficulties such
as speed, affordability, and complexity appropriately. It may simply be adapted
to track patients’ calorific intake and therapy with COVID-19 asthma, diabetes,
and arthritis. In COVID-19 pandemic days, this digitally managed health
management system may enhance the overall healthcare performance.
