Monitoring, Tracking and Fighting Pandemics using Drone-based Artificial Intelligence in IoT

The world has altered since the World Health Organization (WHO) designated (COVID-19) a worldwide epidemic. Everything in society, from professions to routines, has shifted to accommodate the new reality. The World Health Organization warns that future pandemics of infectious diseases are likely and that people should be ready for the worst. Therefore, this study presents a framework for tracking and monitoring COVID-19 using a Deep Learning (DL) perfect. The suggested framework utilises UAVs (such as a quadcopter or drone) equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to keep an eye on and combat the spread of COVID-19. AI/IoT for COVID-19 nursing and a drone-based IoT scheme for sterilisation make up the bulk of the infrastructure. The proposed solution is based on the use of a current camera installed in a face-shield or helmet for use in emergency situations like pandemics. The developed AI algorithm processes the thermal images that have been detected using multi-scale similar convolution blocks (MPCs) and Res blocks that are trained using residual learning. When infected cases are detected, the helmet's embedded Internet of Things system can trigger the drone system to intervene. The infected population is eradicated with the help of the drone's sterilisation process. The developed system undergoes experimental evaluation, and the findings are presented. The developed outline delivers a novel and well-organized arrangement for monitoring and combating COVID-19 and additional future epidemics, as evidenced by the results. © 2023 IEEE.

A report on the impact of information technology and social media on covid-19

The destruction caused by the COVID-19 virus to the human race is beyond the imagination. This article elucidates how COVID-19 is identified as a threat to human life. The statistical report is given for the some of the countries which are highly affected by this pandemic. The medical advancements and the impact of insufficient medical facilities, are available even in the well-developed nations. The role of Information Technology (IT) in the development of various effective algorithms for the diagnosis and prevention of the disease is discussed. This research article also covers the responsibilities of the various social mediaalong with their vulnerable efforts in carrying awareness to society. © 2020 IEEE.
