Application of artificial intelligence (AI) to control COVID-19 pandemic: Current status and future prospects

The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the everyday livelihood of people has been monumental and unparalleled. Although the pandemic has vastly affected the global healthcare system, it has also been a platform to promote and develop pioneering applications based on autonomic artificial intelligence (AI) technology with therapeutic significance in combating the pandemic. Artificial intelligence has successfully demonstrated that it can reduce the probability of human-to-human infectivity of the virus through evaluation, analysis, and triangulation of existing data on the infectivity and spread of the virus. This review talks about the applications and significance of modern robotic and automated systems that may assist in spreading a pandemic. In addition, this study discusses intelligent wearable devices and how they could be helpful throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The prospective of Artificial Intelligence in COVID-19 Pandemic

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major threat throughout the world. The latest advancements in the field of computational techniques based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Big Data can help in detecting, monitoring and forecasting the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to review the detection of the COVID-19 pandemic empowered by AI, major implications, challenges and the future of smart health care at a glance. The AI plays a pioneering role in rapid and improved detection of the disease. It helps in modeling the disease activity and predicting the severity for better decision making and preparedness by healthcare authorities and policymakers. It is a promising technology for automatic and fully transparent monitoring system to track and treat the patients remotely without spreading the virus to others. The future application areas of AI-based healthcare are also identified. The role of AI in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic is reviewed in this paper. AI proves beneficial in early detection with improved results. It also provides solution for contact tracing, prediction, drug development thus reducing the workload of medical industry.
