 In countless ways, Coronavirus has impacted us. From losing jobs to the closures of educational institutes and offices. Amidst this chaotic situation, it is the Internet of Things technology that has emerged to help in dealing with this global crisis.



During the COVID-19 pandemic, advanced technologies like IoT, Big Data, Machine Learning has played a critical role in keeping our cities functional, our offices running, and carrying out our daily activities. From researchers to government bodies, from manufacturing to pharmacy industries, every sector has extensively used cutting-edge IoT solutions for maintaining a high level of efficiency.


Connected solutions are proving their worth in today’s crisis. Verticals such as health care, education, manufacturing, and life sciences already have witnessed a boost in demand for IoT solutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The role played by the IoT technology during the Covid-19 pandemic. In many forms, IoT technology and IoT enabled devices to offer exceptional services during the Covid-19 pandemic. IoT enabled control and automation systems to help remote workers for manufacturers and businesses to deliver services. The IoT concept and its related technologies, applications have been used by scientists to determine the nature of the Coronavirus and expanded the scope of the research area. For example, Artificial Intelligence is proving a valuable tool to decode patterns of spread of the disease via genome sequencing methods or high-resolution computer-generated simulation.


Physicians are using IoT for devices for monitoring the healthy development of patience. Doctors are getting data on their patients without letting them come out to their chambers. From the comfort of their home, patience can be treated and monitored. IoT technology has streamlined the remote health monitoring and telehealth sector. Contactless checking, frisking, and monitoring have been strengthened by the security departments through the use of IoT technology. It is immensely helping to maintain social distancing as well as restricting human contact.


Researchers have developed a smart helmet-mounted with thermal imaging systems for identifying the infected among the crowd. It also equipped the facial recognition system that runs on IoT. Government\ authorities of Canada, Japan, and European countries are heavily using it to die down the spread of the virus and identifying infected persons. In the e-commerce industry, IoT-enabled drones have proven to be a lifeline for the delivery of essential commodities, food, medicines, and other vital medical supplies to remote areas and the people of third-world countries.


Work from home has become the new normal in the Covid-19 situation and this mode of working will be adopted by the maximum number of companies in the future. Various IoT products such as sensors, data processing, and cloud platforms will be aggressively adopted making IoT an integral part of 21st-century remote work culture. Businesses are seeking greater dependency on value-driven technologies to fight the disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
