ABSTRACT
COVID19 pandemic is playing havoc all around the world. Though the world is fighting this invisible enemy it has succumbed to the devastating potential of the Coronavirus. Largest of world economies and developed nations have been exposed and their health infrastructure has collapsed during this testing time. It is assessed and predicted that the novel coronavirus which is responsible for COVID19 pandemic, may turn into an endemic (just like HIV) and will never go away. It will become part and parcel of our life and humans have to learn to live with it even if the vaccine is developed. The government’s world over is concerned with containment and eradication of this virus at the earliest and massive efforts are on at all front to contain it’s spread. As of now (3rd week of May 2020), more than 4.4 million cases of the disease have been recorded worldwide and more than 300,000 have died. The world has also seen technological innovation during this time and mechanisms to tackle COVID19 patients. Innovations in carrying out quick testing using Rapid testing kits, Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered thermal scanning for temperature monitoring in the crowd, AI-enabled contact tracing, Mobile Apps, low-cost ventilators, and many other such similar solutions. All these pertain to checking for COVID19 symptoms and taking actions thereafter, but what about the stress, pain, and shock of a person who has been put under quarantine in a facility meant for the purpose or the person who is Corona positive? In this chapter, the authors have discussed briefly the pandemic and tried to provide a solution for the mental wellbeing of such people who are under quarantine and are isolated but heavily stressed or showing stress symptoms, by creating a VisualBOT which could understand the facial expression of the person and judge his mood, for providing suitable counseling and help. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
