10 Technologies That Are Helping Fight COVID-19
Technologies are playing an essential role in fighting against the COVID-19 crisis, which is so far keeping society functioning. These technologies will have a long-term impact even after the pandemic. On this page, we have briefly discussed 10 Technologies that are being used to establish a command and control system to confront the rapidly spreading Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Also, read the PDF papers and articles to learn more about the applications of these trends. You can also get seminar ideas, select seminar topics, and prepare seminar reports with the help of these research papers.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI playing an important role in detecting the cluster of cases and predicting where this virus will affect the future by collecting and analyzing all previous data.- Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for COVID-19 pandemic (Download PDF)
2. IoT: Internet of Things
IoT is a pioneering technology; it allows devices to be connected over a network in the hospital and planned location to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. With a broadly shared, localized sophisticated scheme of intelligent devices, IoT has enabled improvements to significant facilities in utilities, hospitals, education, and other areas during the ongoing coronavirus crisis. particularly for the medical service which performs a major task in smart health care.
3. Blockchain for COVID-19
Blockchain technology (BT) plays a vital role in creating a platform for adequately managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Blockchain applications can monitor disease outbreaks over time by creating 'ledgers' that are both secure and updated hundreds of times per day. Blockchain technology is useful for disease control, patient traceability, and improved management of the healthcare system.

4. Digital and Contactless Payments
In the ongoing spread of COVID-19, contactless digital payments, either in the form of cards or e-wallets, are the recommended payment method to avoid the spread of coronavirus. Digital payments enable people to make online purchases and payments of goods, services, and even utility payments, as well as to receive stimulus funds faster.

6. Remote Working Technologies
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in both employers and employees seeking alternative work arrangements, most if not all workers experienced work from home (WFH). The information and communication technologies (ICTs) have advanced in their capabilities, and especially with the greater availability of high-speed internet, remote working (also termed as remote work, flexible workplace, telework, telecommuting, e–working) has grown in its use as a new model of work during the covid crisis. Technologies involved in distant learning are similar to those for remote work and also include virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D printing, and artificial-intelligence-enabled robot teachers.
