Defending against the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak: How can the Internet of Things (IoT) help to save the world?

Internet of Things for Current COVID-19 and Future Pandemics: an Exploratory Study

“…The second phase, called quarantine time [22], is an important period of this disease after the patient has been diagnosed with COVID-19, and he or she should be isolated for the course of treatment. IoT devices in this phase can monitor patients remotely [23] with respect to their treatments and stay at home orders by the authorities. They can also clean areas without human interactions.…”

The Role of Digital Technologies that Could Be Applied for Prescreening in the Mining Industry During the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…These devices have already been applied in COVID-19 conditions, not only to gather digital health data, but also to ensure that people obey certain lockdown and quarantine regulations. The research conducted by Rahman et al ( 2020 ) revealed that real-time data collected with IoT-based health devices were used to predict the COVID-19 outbreak with a confidence level of more than 80%. Also, the study conducted by Tripathy et al ( 2020 ) concluded that smart Easy Band health device could be used effectively to control the growth of new positive cases of COVID-19 with auto-contact tracing and by ensuring critical social distancing.…”

Digital Technologies-Enabled Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 in the Post-COVID-19 Era: Lessons Learnt from a Pandemic

“…3D printing represents, indeed, one of the pillars of the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution”, together with smart sensors, nano(bio)technologies, quantum, immersive, cloud and ubiquitous computing, the “Internet of Things” (IoT)/the “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT), blockchain technology, next-generation telecommunication networks, Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence-based approaches and algorithms, such as deep learning [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”
