ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the current operating environment of pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) has rapidly changed and faced increasing risks of disruption. The Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain not only help enhance the efficiency of PSC operations in the information technology domain but also address complex related issues and improve the visibility, flexibility, and transparency of these operations. Although IoT and blockchain have been widely examined in the areas of supply chain and logistics management, further work on PSC is expected by the public to enhance its resilience. To respond to this call, this paper combines a literature review with semi-structured interviews to investigate the characteristics of PSC, the key aspects affecting PSC, and the challenges faced by PSC in the post-pandemic era. An IoT-blockchain-integrated hospital-side oriented PSC management model is also developed. This paper highlights how IoT and blockchain technology can enhance supply chain resilience and provides a reference on how PSC members can cope with the associated risks.

ABSTRACT
The coronavirus known as COVID-19 is the topic of the hour all over the world. This virus has invaded the world with its invariants, which are characterized by their rapid spread. COVID-19 has impacted the health of people and the economy of countries. For that, laboratories, researchers, and doctors are in a race against time to find a cure for this pandemic. To combat this virus, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data have been put in place. In our work, we use Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The use of IoT in an efficient way can lead to detecting infected people and avoiding being contaminated. In this paper, we are interested in the remote medical monitoring of patients who have tested positive for COVID-19. We propose a meta-modeling technique to model the IoT architecture. Then we implement two IoT solutions that permit the remote medical monitoring of patients infected with COVID-19 and the respect of social distancing by instantiating correct models that conform to the proposed meta-model in order to mitigate the COVID-19 outbreak. © 2022, The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The current COVID-19 pandemic has created several problems now-a-days. All these problems point to the inability to examine and scale the situation according to the intensity of the outbreak. Along with creating problems, this pandemic has exceeded many boundaries such as the provincial, radical, conceptual, spiritual, social, and educational. It has changed the fundamental nature of our society. For controlling such a pandemic situation, a collection, analysis, elucidation of data on regular basis regarding the spreading disease trends should be done in order to predict the outbreak of major health related symptoms. A proper surveillance is required to cure any type of disease. Surveillance-collection of data can be performed best with the assistance of technology like Internet of things. As “Internet of things is an idea which comprises of interconnected frameworks which has the ability of finding data about a specific thing with the assistance of extraordinary identifiers and detecting capability.” The technological platform of IoT connected with the healthcare system is helpful in observing the infected people. This monitoring is done by the interconnected network offered by IoT [1]. Implementation of such a technology will help to decrease the healthcare expenses and enhance treatment of the infected patients. © 2021 Scrivener Publishing LLC.

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.
