Abstract

Smart technologies can help people stay healthy during the pandemic and to avoid it. Engineers and Technology professionals come out with long-term technological solutions to assist human activities while staying at home during the pandemic. The Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligent, Wireless communication technologies, and 5G networks are just some of the ideas that have been developed. Smart Technologies can provide smooth and secure functions to fight against pandemic diseases such as COVID-19. This study analyzed data from “Smart Technologies” and “COVID-19” after the Coronavirus pandemic crisis, and findings revealed that various smart technologies were used in the medical sector to reduce the pandemic. A wearable device can be developed to show the temperature of humans maintaining social distance. Google Glass and thermal sensors can be used to monitor people’s body temperature using infra-red sensors. Data privacy and data security were the major issues while implementing the smart concept.
