ABSTRACT
IoT technology is emerging as a fully developed automation that could be integrated in various web applications, which will be present in upcoming generations of the World Wide Web. Blockchain, like IoT, is a burgeoning field whereby every system associated in the blockchain incorporates a disseminated ledger that improves safety and consistency. Due to the blockchain network abilities to accomplish smart contracts and consensus, unauthorized users are unable to undertake any fault transactions. The IoT and blockchain can be aggregated to improve application performance dynamically at run time. However, controlling and monitoring the machines linked to sensors in an IoT background and mining the blockchain will always be a technical challenge to the researchers. With this context, this paper enables to review the fundamentals of IoT, blockchain field, and its topographies. In this paper, design architecture, namely, IoT Blockchain Assurance-Based Compliance to COVID Quarantine, is proposed and concluded up with novel architectural framework that improves the efficiency of data safety and data transparency. Unlicensed users are not permitted to conduct any erroneous transactions within the blockchain network, which has the capability to engage in smooth contracts and agreement, thus extending the safekeeping between clinicians and chronically ill patients. This methodology was created with immobile elderly chronically ill patients in mind who are suffering from COVID that require on-the-spot treatment and continuous monitoring by a doctor in mind. This paper is designed to analyze the performance of proposed IoT Blockchain Assurance-Based Compliance to COVID Quarantine with Ethereum private blockchain network beneath a genesis block and the results are conferred. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
ABSTRACT
Education around the world is facing a setback due to the onset of the pandemic from the year 2019. The field of education and the academicians around the world working hard to provide uninterrupted education to their wards and the only option left with them is the online mode of education. Shifting their mode of delivery from face-to-face conventional classroom education to an entirely new system requires a lot of effort. This study intends to understand the challenges and opportunities before the teaching community to deliver quality education to their students through online mode.
ABSTRACT
The recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 has brought human survival and existence to an all-time low. The infection seems to be uncontrollable, and the scientific community has no answer yet. The only means of keeping the infection under the check is the effective usage of both serological and molecular diagnostic testing. The article provides the readers with the basic understanding of the current pandemic situation and educates them regarding the same. It is essential that members of all the scientific background are aware of the current pandemic at its basic level. This would direct the scientific community to work toward warding off the pandemic which is the need of the hour.y
ABSTRACT
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify coronavirus contact using internet of things. The disease is said to be highly contagious with the contact of infected persons. Feared to be air-borne, droplets of body fluids can transmit the disease in a matter of hours. The predominant symptoms of the COVID-19 are high fever, cough, breathing problem, etc. Recent studies have demonstrated the evolution of the disease to hide its symptoms. As it is highly transmissible, this disease might spread at an exponential rate costing the lives of thousands of people. The chain of transmission has to be detected with utmost priority through early detection and isolation of infected people. Automated internet of things (IoT) devices can be used in design and implementation of a prediction scheme for reporting the health-care risks of the patients with various parameters such as temperature, humidity and blood pressure. Design/methodology/approach IoT is a configuration of multiple autonomous and embedded wireless devices for serving a purpose. Every object possesses an individual identity and will serve to register critical events as entries for future learning and decisions. IoT plays an inevitable role in medical industries, detection of vital signs of diseases and monitoring. Among other life-threatening diseases, a new pandemic is on rise among world nations. COVID-19, a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome virus originated from animals in December 2019 and is becoming a serious menace to Governments, despite serious measures of lockdowns. Findings In this paper, the authors defined an architecture of an IoT system to predict the Covid-19 disease by getting the data from the human through sensors and send the data to the doctor using mobile, computer, etc. The main goal is early health surveillance by predicting COVID-19. Accordingly, the authors are able to identify both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, which will help in the early prediction of disease. Originality/value Using the proposed method, the authors can save the time of both patient and doctor by ensuring timely medical treatment and contribute toward breaking the transmission chain. In so doing, the method also contributes toward avoiding unnecessary expenses and saving human lives.
