Enabling Healthcare 4.0 for Pandemics

This chapter discusses applying HCS 4.0 techniques in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. It starts by highlighting the key techniques, then reviews real world applications. It also describes opportunities, challenges and the future of HCS 4.0 in addressing similar pandemics.

HCS 4.0 techniques could predict the risk and detect COVID-19 symptoms to confirm cases. It enables monitoring of likely health issues and recovery [5]. Telemedicine services could monitor health remotely, enabling adequate prevention and control of such a virus via detecting abnormalities in patients and rapidly communicating healthcare providers, especially in emergencies [8]. Sensors for physiological monitoring could offer useful data for both the patients and the healthcare providers. Through the lockdown out of the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, digital techniques enabled online and distant learning through sharing updated information, guidance, documentation, and open educational resources for teaching in remote areas [10].

AI-based surveillance has the potential to minimize the burden over healthcare staff during this crisis where it could observe COVID-19 patients’ activities. HCS 4.0 techniques could offer better alternatives and enhance the performance of healthcare providers to learn more about COVID-19 [11]. There was a wide communication of false information about COVID-19 to the public via different media channels. HCS 4.0 technologies could help to detect such false information and provide accurate one [12, p. 19]. This work discusses the potentials of different HCS 4.0 techniques in managing the pandemic of COVID-19. This review would help the health stakeholders and investigators in fighting this pandemic, applying such technologies efficiently now and for the future. Here we deliberate the important tools of HCS 4.0, which may provide further help in COVID-19 epidemics.

AI (man-made brainpower) is an amazing asset that can be helpful against the COVID-19 pandemic in evaluating the dangers of contamination and screening the populace. It is an application like AI, PC vision, and normal language preparation that can teach PCs to use models dependent on huge information to perceive, clarify, and expect the example. Today, the utilization of this innovation is constrained because of an absence of information. Accessible information is boisterous and degenerate. Artificial intelligence can expect the flare-up and can likewise limit or even break point the spread of the infection. Bogus data on social stages identified with COVID-19 could later be recognized and expelled by the help of AI. Clinical preliminaries of medications and immunizations against this infection could be streamlined using AI. It may be utilized to create robots for sanitization work and clinical exploration on the web. This procedure can perform CT filters expected to recognize pneumonia brought about by an infection. Using this innovation is helpful in creating the hardware required for the well-being framework.

The IoT is a mechanized arrangement that has brought about gigantic development in robotized producing, resource the executives, and so forth. It comprises gathering, moving, examining, and putting away information. Information assortment is finished using sensors incorporated with cell phones, robots, and so on. The gathered information is then transferred for examination and dynamic to the focal cloud server [13]. The IoT is ending up being of incredible help in the battle against COVID-19. For example, drones are utilized in observation for guaranteeing the usage of isolation transport. This method can be utilized to follow the source of a scourge. It is helpful for disease transmission specialists to look for and furthermore recognize individuals who interact with patients. Persistence consistent with isolation can be ensured. Patients who break isolation can be followed. Also, this strategy might be helpful in mitigating clinical staff through far off checking of residential patients [14].

COVID-19 is portrayed by a lengthy hatching period, high infectivity and hard to distinguish, which prompted an abrupt flare-up and the quick improvement of a scourge. This circumstance requires GIS and large information innovation to empower fast reactions and examinations, quick access to data on scourge elements, and a comprehension of the principles of pandemic improvement to offer quick help for preventive choices and activities and also, control [15]. Big Data is an expository method appropriate to recognizing and controlling the overall spread of the COVID-19 infection. This procedure makes it conceivable to store an enormous number of patients tainted with this infection. This innovation frames the reason for quicker, close to constant evaluation of dynamic. It assists spare with people’s lives and rapidly distinguishes powerful treatments. Enormous information can be exceptionally valuable in dissecting and expecting the size and effect of the coronavirus on people [16]. COVID-19 trackers can gather close to constant information from sources far and wide, at that point give analysts, specialists, disease transmission experts, and policymakers the most recent data that can be useful in settling on better choices to battle the infection.

VR is rapidly getting progressively available, increasingly open, or more all reasonable. Computer generated reality is an advanced innovation that gives a recreated experience nearly equivalent to or not quite the same as the universe of work. The two innovations are utilized in many territories of the medical clinic segment, including the analytic area: the symptomatic imaging procedures as of now used extensively in class and permit to have an enormous and away images of the patient, without the need of the patient and work to find out additional; improvements around there incorporating the development opportunity offered by new gadgets which take static pictures, yet additionally move them to give the doctor a 10,000-foot perspective on organ work, not one minute in a period span [17]. The applications incorporate computer games, 3D games, instructive preparing, clinical preparing, military preparing, and so forth. The earth given by this innovation offers the upsides of incredible solace, imagination, and profitability [18]. Natural whiteboards permit individuals to team up progressively, visit reproductions, and catch content. During the COVID-19 flare-up, augmented reality innovation offers an incredible option in contrast to video calling. The principle preferred position of this medium is that it gives individuals the sentiment of being in a similar space together without moving. An additional advantage is that individuals can completely focus on the errand without interference. VR improves proficiency, improves bunch work, lessens travel costs, decreases non-attendance, and diminishes ecological effect. So during this season of COVID-19 infection, VR was an extraordinary instrument for correspondence and joint effort.

Holography is 3D-photography technique. It shows 3D with growing points of view. It is as opposed to photography; it keeps both the stage and the mind-boggling adequacy of the wave originating from the item. The picture is known as the visualization. It resembles a window with memory. The 3D image could remake a precise 3D picture of the first item. It offers organizations an option to virtualize their occasions without webcasting. This permits organizations to dispatch items, include recent clients, and develop their brands. Advanced holographic innovation has opened up another method of holding gatherings and live occasions. It lessens the presentation of responders, representatives, and clients to COVID-19 [7]. It looks like speakers are for all intents and purposes living from their home or office on a genuine occasion scene identified with COVID-19. A huge number of individuals can watch this live communicate simultaneously. Holography can give ultra-authenticity. In this season of the COVID-19 episode, when representatives need to remain at home, this holographic occasion spilling innovation is getting adequate.
