Visiting Indian Hospitals Before, During and After COVID

The prevailing COVID-19 situation has brought in temporary and permanent changes in the attitude and lifestyle of people. Starting from Hand sanitizers and face masks, it extends to online classrooms and work from home culture. In case of visiting hospitals and medications, people with pre-existing medical conditions and minor health issues tend to delay or avoid visiting hospitals due to fear of infection, which is dangerous. Further, people or patients tend to access several alternatives and precautions. The alternatives include home remedies, ayurvedic medication, yoga and meditation. On the other hand, hospitals are trying to adapt online consulting and telemedicine. Besides, Cancellation or delay of nonemergency surgeries became inevitable in the lockdown phase. This survey conducted among the people of Erode district, Tamilnadu to study the perception of people concerning visiting hospitals for health issues. The results show that fear of infection, financial and transportation difficulties are the major factors which affected people from visiting hospital.

Prevention is done using early diagnosis and medication which in turn helps in early detection of the disease. The basic aim of the paper is to identify and further classify the patients using the chest x-rays. From scratch the Convolutional Neural Network is diagnosed producing a very high accurate and optimum results. In recent years, researchers found out that in the radiological images such as like x-rays, the traces of covid-19 can be found. In few areas, a good accuracy of the covid-19 detection cannot be achieved due to lack of the people who test so the artificial intelligence is combined with the radiological image. In machine learning the models used are deep learning by automatizing the actions and making it certain by swift, skillful and proficient outcome produced by the chest images provided by the patients. There are several layers like convolutional layer, max pooling layer etc. which are initiated and are used with aid of ReLU activation function. These images given as inputs are also classified accordingly. There is a sequence of neurons being given as input to the active dense layer and there is a result to the input by a sigmoidal function. There is a rise in efficiency because the models are trained and there is a decline of loss at the same time. If there is a model where fitting is done earlier to the overfitting and is restricted from implementing in the data augmentation. There is a better and efficient involvement of suggestions to models of deep learning. Further there is a classification of chest images for identifying and analyzing covid19. So, to check the Covid detection, the images are used as raw. In this paper a model is proposed to have good accuracy in the classification between Covid and normal and further it can be classified into three categories like Covid, pneumonia, normal. There is a 98.08% for the first one and 87.02% for the second one. By introducing 17 convolutional layers and using the Darknet model used for classifying you only look once (YOLO) for the live identification of the objects and multiple layers of filters are used. In the model there is an initial screening. © 2022 IEEE.
