Abstract

Currently, COVID-19 pandemic is the major cause of disease burden globally. So, there is a need for an urgent solution to fight against this pandemic. Internet of Things (IoT) has the ability of data transmission without human interaction. This technology enables devices to connect in the hospitals and other planned locations to combat this situation. This article provides a road map by highlighting the IoT applications that can help to control it. This study also proposes a real-time identification and monitoring of COVID-19 patients. The proposed framework consists of four components using the cloud architecture: 1) data collection of disease symptoms (using IoT-based devices); 2) health center or quarantine center (data collected using IoT devices); 3) data warehouse (analysis using machine learning models); and 4) health professionals (provide treatment). To predict the severity level of COVID-19 patients on the basis of IoT-based real-time data, we experimented with five machine learning models. The results reveal that random forest outperformed among all other models. IoT applications will help management, health professionals, and patients to investigate the symptoms of contagious disease and manage COVID-19 +ve patients worldwide.
