Internet of things (IoT) is a technological revolution employed in different areas in the aim to serve the asked purposes. The implementation of IoT solutions in healthcare area has several benefits such as reducing the cost of services and improving treatment results. In this paper, we present a review on the impact of IoT on this new health challenge (COVID-19 and its variants), we will focus this study on the impact of the use of IoT devices to reduce transmissions of COVID-19 and its variants.
6. Conclusion
Internet of Things has demonstrated in recent months its effectiveness in solving some problems of COVID diseases. The use of IoT medical devices allows real-time and remote monitoring of Covid patients and people in self-quarantine. IoT allow handling all cases in appropriately and smartly way which provides enhanced services to the patient and health care. Intelligent monitoring of infected cases allows rapid intervention in emergencies and limit the spread of this viruses. Analyzing data gathered from the IoT devices by using statistical-based method can serve to predict upcoming situation of these diseases and help design a better environment to fight with these diseases.
