Integration of cloud computing with the Internet of things for the treatment and management of the COVID-19 pandemic

The globe is now fighting the COVID-19 epidemic, and a cost-effective method to battle the outbreak is urgently required. In this era, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers healthcare systems or checks and discovers patients in epidemics to prevent the virus from spreading. In order to tackle the current COVID-19 pandemic, intelligent health care based on IoT is becoming increasingly vital in better digital technologies. This technology allows gadgets to link hospitals and other predefined sites to tackle this dilemma. The cognitive Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a potential technology for quick analysis, dynamic monitoring and control, improved therapy and management, and prevention of viral transmission. This technology can send a message to the hospital immediately in an emergency. Due to the importance of this subject, the influence of IoT-centered innovations in the management of COVID-19 is examined in this article. The three main areas, including early detection, viral prevention, and patient care, are considered in this paper. The results showed that using IoT, such as drones and robots, has been fruitful in reducing contact with patients and identifying disease symptoms. Also, they showed that the IoT wearable gadgets and the cloud platform to store the patient’s information have helped doctors track the patient’s condition.
