Digital future beyond pandemic outbreak: systematic review of the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on digital psychology

Purpose: The globe has experienced a devastating COVID-19 pandemic, putting the planet under lockdown and causing social alienation. The near collapse of social and economic activities is disrupting the supply chain. Customer-required products were in low supply across the world. A slew of new digital firms springs up to fill the need during this time. This study aims to reach a holistic goal by better understanding customers' digitalisation behaviour. The first step is to review existing consumer digital psychology research to map this study's current knowledge of the pandemic's early and late phases and the impact of digital businesses on consumer behaviour. Finally, it provides lawmakers with a future agenda for limiting the digital psychology of consumers and enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: This study used the Scopus and Web of Science databases to extract records to follow the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement. The final 57 papers were applied after the screening process. The digital environment, psychological digitalisation and behavioural changes were recognised as three primary classes based on a comprehensive examination of the previous literature. This study identified possible difficulties in earlier literature: the scarcity of collaborative and transdisciplinary research on digital psychology, which various academics have emphasised in the past. On the other hand, these investigations were primarily conducted in the psychological surroundings of technology users. Findings: According to this study, digital psychology has improved significantly during the pandemic and many new digital start-ups have arisen. This study also used digital research to create a framework for a pandemic strategic response plan to help minimise the current COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future outbreaks. Originality/value: The study mapped existing literature on digital psychology alterations because of the novel COVID-19 outbreak. © 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Assessing Hospital Management Performance in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) During the COVID-19: A Study from the Pandemic Outbreak Perspective

In the early stages of the pandemic, both poor and developed nations lacked healthcare infrastructure capacity. ICUs had more patients than ordinary wards, and hospital resources for patients were minimal. The possibility of contamination and infection, as well as restricted resources, pose challenges to ICU staff. The circumstance posed a significant difficulty for ICU management to protect healthcare staff while providing healthcare services to patients. Similarly, technology participation in prevention and dissemination control was limited both within and outside of ICUs treating infected patients. The current study investigated the hospital management performance in intensive care units (ICUs) during the COVID-19. We used the PRISM statement 2020 to include and exclude the records in the study. In addition, the study used the VOS viewer software to identify key term occurrences and classification of literature. The major three categories find COVID-19, ICUs and performance management. The current study findings indicate that healthcare personnel such as physicians, nurses, and other support staff made significant contributions during the peak period of pandemic transmission. Nurses are the closest to the infected patients within the ICUs, and the findings show that a considerable percentage of nurses have been infected with the COVID-19 virus (Kramer et al., 2021). Aside from this, in ICUs, technology engagement and infrastructure are substantially lower than in pandemic control and management. Future pandemic damage control and minimising the strain on healthcare workers require advanced technologies and performance management mechanisms. Furthermore, AI and robotic technology can be utilised to address this challenge. © 2022. International journal of online and biomedical engineering. All Rights Reserved.

The Effectiveness of IoT Based Wearable Devices and Potential Cybersecurity Risks: A Systematic Literature Review from the Last Decade

Wearable technology has enormous promise, particularly for data collection for cutting-edge health research, and its popularity has soared in recent years. This study aims to provide IoT-based wearable devices’ effectiveness and potential cybersecurity threats to these innovative technologies. Using the PRISMA-2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology, we conducted a scoping study to understand better the application of inexpensive, consumer-grade wearables for health research from a population health viewpoint. Scopus databases yielded a total of 43 articles. Our findings show that academics and research participants are tremendously interested in this technology, but they are also wary about using wearables. These devices are still vulnerable to cybersecurity assaults such as data privacy and security in healthcare. However, blockchain technology is a potential alternative for integrating with IoT-based wearables to ensure data privacy. Furthermore, according to the findings, wearables have an increasingly diverse range of applications, including COVID-19 prediction, fertility tracking, heat-related sickness, pharmacological effects, and psychological therapies;they also include underrepresented populations, such as those with rare diseases. In low-resource environments, there is a lack of research on wearable devices. © 2022. International journal of online and biomedical engineering. All Rights Reserved.

Research Landscape of Digital Learning Over the Past 20 Years: A Bibliometric and Visualisation Analysis

The concept of digital learning has grown in popularity significantly over the last few decades especially in the past couple of years due to covid-19. Digital learning is defined as any type of learning that integrated Information and communication technology in its conduct. This study aims to presents a research landscape of digital learning research published in the past 20 years. We conducted a bibliometric analysis to determine the pattern of digital learning published literature from 2002 to 2021. The search for the relevant articles was made on the basis of keywords linked with digital learning in the article’s title, , and keywords. As a result, we retrieved 1361 papers from Scopus for bibliometric analysis. The review identifies the publication growth trend, most cited articles, top journals, productive authors, and the leading countries and institutions and major subject areas. According to the findings of our analysis, the United States is the most productive country in terms oof publications and citations. Computers and Education is the leading journal. Through the co-occurrence of keywords analysis, we determined that the most significant keywords associated with digital learning are covid-19, online learning, e-learning and digital learning environment, higher education, digital technologies and so on. The highest number of digital learning articles are published under social science domain. The publication growth trend is consistently rising and is projected to continue in the following years, indicating the importance of digital learning in different domain. The study provides a roadmap for future researchers to follow, where they can focus on key areas where success is possible © 2022.

Significance of precautionary measures, rehabilitative care and physiotherapy approach during pandemic of COVID-19

An outbreak of the Novel Corona Virus disease in 2019 is a health disaster for the world. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease associated with coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 named coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), coronavirus is interspecies, and can also be transmitted from human to human that has triggered a global pandemic over the past 3months. At present, there is no specific treatment exclusively available to treat COVID-19 patients. This condition is managed by symptomatic treatment for symptoms like cough, cold, fever, and other respiratory-related ailments although over a period of time since this pandemic is started patients are showing varied symptoms that are not respiratory in nature including headache, loss of taste and smell sensation, body aches and fatigue. Prominent symptoms are managed by best supportive care while secondary symptoms are treated by medicines. As no specific treatment is available at present as said prevention is better than cure must followed. A good immunity can protect us, so prevention and rehabilitation is an essential way to cope up with the dangerous situation of COVID -19 diseases. © 2021 MEDIC SCIENTIFIC. All right reserved.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Sustainable Development Goals: What We Learn from the Past and Where We Are Heading?

Recently, the world is witnessing a severe global health issue owing to the COVID 19 pandemic, initially encountered in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province in China. It spread rapidly, so does the fatality ratio. This pandemic has jeopardized the sustainable development goals at large. Still, the future is uncertain-the current study aimed at two objectives. The first is to review the past literature on the coronavirus family to map our current understanding of its epidemic outbarks and overview its social, environmental, and economic impact. The second stream of literature focused on classifying the best possible solutions under different scenarios due to the current situation. Finally, to provide future agenda for policymakers to restrain the sustainable development goals. We used Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases for the systematic literature review process. We followed a strict screening process recommended in the PRISMA guidelines for the screening and quality assessment of systematic literature review. The final 51 studies are included for the systematic literature review. A systematic review of the past literature identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS), bovine Coronavirus, canine Coronavirus, and feline Coronavirus are the significant classifications of the Coronavirus family discuss in the literature. We highlighted the potential pitfalls in the past literature, mainly serious scarce collaborative and multidisciplinary research on the pandemic, although several researchers highlighted the issue. Findings of the current study indicate that most research is in a lab setting and experimental design. For sustainable development, there is a need to start collaborative work among the nations. We provided a framework for a pandemic strategic response plan through multidisciplinary research to mitigate the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and to be prepared for future episodes. The future of the world after the 2019-COVID is more challenging and vital for humanity in terms of business, economic and social perspective. Social structures will change the current situation is showing based on literature and reports. The economic recession will be prolonged if the researchers cannot find the solution for the Coronavirus.
