IoHT-based mass surveillance in smart cities to prevent the spread of pandemics

ABSTRACT

Healthcare IoT (Internet of Things) is an emerging technology that eases human life by connecting smart devices and feeding us valuable data. It plays a valuable role in healthcare applications (IoHT- Internet of Health Things) by providing precise monitoring, real-time data feedback, and remote diagnosis. IoHT (Internet of Health Things), when connected to a wide-area connection system like a smart city, will be an advancement in the healthcare and lifestyle of people in this catastrophic period of the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The data gathered by IoHT devices is uploaded to the control and healthcare server, where the data is analyzed to prevent the communication of disease and to improvise the city's functioning, hence making the city a smart city to deal with this situation efficiently. In this paper, we will try to work on the IoHT-based system for surveillance of smart cities during pandemics. © 2022 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
