APPLICATIONS OF INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) TO TRACK COVID-19 IN REAL TIME

Presently, entire world is facing big crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID19 is a disease caused by corona virus. It has surpassed the provincial, radical, social, and many other activities. Vaccine or medicine is not yet available for curing of COVID19. Internet of things (IoT) is an advanced technology which useful to when integrate to healthcare to provide the instantons information or help to patients based on real time data. By employing interconnected networks which integrates IoT with healthcare systems can be useful to tracking or control of spreading of corona virus. Researchers, academicians, and scientists are trying hard to identify some productive solutions to face or overcome the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. IoT enabled healthcare centers or hospitals can provide treatment to the patients with higher satisfaction and minimized readmission rate. The adoption of IoT technology in healthcare can expected to minimize the cost of treatment and provide treatment to the patient(s) remotely. Present study is aimed to explore the applications of IoT in healthcare to track the COVID-19 infected patients and handle corona virus to spread from one to one. Various issues related to IoT philosophy and its perspectives to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. From the study, it is stated that IoT enabled healthcare networks are useful to identify infected patients of COVID-19 and can provide better treatment for speedy recovery of patients. IoT based netwok can act like a link among patient, medical doctor, surgeon, and healthcare administration structure and helpful to handle COVID-19 pandemic in an effective manner
