Artificial Intelligence: Technology 4.0 as a solution for healthcare workers during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented spotlight to the healthcare sector across the globe. It has revealed the weak links as well as neglected aspects of the healthcare sector. The aspects like data collection about patients, access to and outreach of authentic information in times of pandemics and use of technology for collaboration among medical researchers and workers have been overlooked for a long period of time. As the world is watching an inflection point of the digital technology era, it is highly imperative to analyze where these two supposedly separate sectors converge. This research paper has attempted to do the same. A systematic literature review of twenty research papers have been done to know impact of artificial intelligence in dealing with COVID-19 problem. The benefits offered by the technological revolution, namely technology 4.0, to the healthcare sector has been analyzed in this paper with a special emphasis on the role of Artificial Intelligence. Adoption of latest technology in collating patients handling systems, supply of medicines and other medical requirements, collaboration in the areas of research and development amid COVID-19 are few of the aspects of the paper. There is an immediate need for a technology embedded in healthcare system.

Lessons Learned: Academia's tryst with the pandemic-mental and physical health impacts

“…Some Universities started using Artificial Intelligence and other high technology [18]. Artificial Intelligence is coming to rescue of many sectors all across the world [10].…”

Application of Disruptive Technologies on Environmental Health: An overview of artificial intelligence, blockchain and internet of things

“…However, climate simulations are also somewhat different, mainly due to how data separated into distinct sections, the way processes and structures combine, and spatial and temporal scales as the broad spectrum. [14] More specifically, AI often improves weather prediction and the forecast of severe weather incidents [5]. This is how they will apply new knowledge to cope with the environment's actual world complexity taking into consideration the nature of the weather and the seas and the atmosphere in their estimates.…”

“…The goal of the study is to offer a variety of descriptions of the current and future applications of these technologies in the environmental health. [5]…”

Indian Rural MSMEs and their perception towards innovation and creativity in uplifting their business

“…Though adoption of technology is not at par with the need of it, yet, the push it got for this pandemic phase will help in a better relationship between the technology and MSMEs. The usage of technology or any innovative platform is cost and timeefficient and there is a huge improvement of these MSMEs in every aspect (Kumar, Pujari, & Gupta, 2021). One of the positive outcomes of this covid-19 pandemic is that the inclination of MSMEs towards the acceptance and usage of innovation increased a lot.…”
