Internet of Things (IoT) adoption model for early identification and monitoring of COVID-19 cases: a systematic review
ABSTRACT
Background:
The 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a mysterious and highly infectious disease which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The virus poses a great threat for global health and economy. Currently, in the absence of effective treatment or vaccine, leveraging advanced digital technologies is of great importance.
Objective:
In this respect, Internet of Things (IoT) is useful for smart monitoring and tracing of COVID-19. Therefore, in this study, we have reviewed the literature available on the IoT-enabled solutions to tackle the current COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods:
This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted an electronic search of articles in the PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Scopus, Science direct, and Web of Science (WOS) databases to formulate a complete view the IoT enabled solutions to monitoring and tracing of COVID-19 according FITT model (Fit between Individual, Task, and Technology).
Results:
In the literature review, 28 articles were identified as eligible studies for analysis. This review will provide an overview of technological adoption of IoT in COVID-19 to identify significant users either primary or secondary, required technologies including technical platform, exchange, processing, storage and added value technologies and system tasks or applications in “on-body”, “in-clinic/hospital” and even “in-community” levels.
Conclusions:
The use of IoT along with advanced intelligent and computing technologies for ubiquitous monitoring and tracking of patients in quarantine has made it a critical aspect in fighting the spread of current COVID-19 and even future pandemics.
