Abstract

The epidemic is a doorway. It has created a new portal that involves re-defining of living styles, working habits, health care, and socialization among people and nonhuman species. The World health organization has announced publically that novel coronavirus as a pandemic. The problem is to overcome the situation of this pandemic which involves the social distancing issues, by transforming the conventional medical health care systems to digital health care system. Post pandemic demands a fundamental change of healthcare systems that have the abilities to handle those issues. Meanwhile, as the pandemic becomes more severe, the most important objective is the paradigm shift in conventional health systems to combat the pandemic by purposing the taxonomy on the basis of digital technologies. Thus, an Artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) based digital healthcare system model is proposed. Moreover, a thorough investigation is conducted, ensuring in a timely guide to the possibilities of digital health transformation as a current and future response to pandemic issues.

Discussion

The paper argues that the pandemic has necessitated a paradigm shift in healthcare, moving away from conventional, in-person models to digital solutions. AI and IoT are identified as key enablers of this transformation, offering capabilities for real-time data collection, predictive analysis, and personalized patient care. The discussion highlights the benefits of these technologies in improving patient safety, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency, while also acknowledging challenges such as data privacy and cybersecurity.

Key Findings

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for digital transformation in healthcare. AI and IoT technologies offer significant potential to enhance remote monitoring, improve diagnostics, streamline patient interactions, and manage healthcare resources more effectively. The proposed AI-IoT model aims to provide a more efficient and responsive healthcare system for current and future pandemics.

Conclusion

The transformation of the digital healthcare environment through AI and IoT is presented as a crucial solution for managing pandemics. The proposed AI-IoT based digital healthcare system model offers a pathway to enhance healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and build more resilient health systems capable of addressing future health crises.

Fact Check

* The World Health Organization (WHO) declared novel coronavirus a pandemic. (Confirmed by general knowledge and the text).
* The paper proposes an AI and IoT based digital healthcare system model. (This is the core proposal of the paper).
* Telemedicine usage increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Supported by multiple references within the text, e.g., [20], [21]).
