Abstract
The novel severe contagious respiratory syndrome coronavirus called (COVID-19) has caused the greatest global challenge and public health, after the pandemic of influenza outbreak of 1918. The adoption of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and wearable sensor in managing patients during any infectious disease outbreak have brought several opportunities. Until now there has been a rapid increase in diverts research works to find a lasting solution to this worldwide threat. The edge and IoMT smart healthcare based is gaining impact to deal with COVID-19 in this digital technology era. The popularity of wearable devices enables a new perspective for the precaution of infectious diseases. Hence, for the continuous monitoring of patients, wearable and implantable body area network systems are very useful during the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, this paper presents the applicability of edge-IoMT-based systems in medicine to minimize the works load of medical practitioners, caregivers and help people live an independent life during the COVID-19 pandemic, and besides providing people with quality care. Also, an intelligent Edge-IoMT-based architecture was proposing for monitoring patients during the COVID-19 outbreak. The edge computing was used to secure the capture data from the patients for proper decision making. The proposed system can be used in real-time by the medical personnel to advises patients about their health condition and to suggest preventive measures in saving lives. The significant contributions of this chapter are (a) Designed an architecture for MIoT-based Big Data Analytics. (b) presented several applicability prospects compelled by edge-IoMT-based system for fighting COVID-19 pandemic (c) lastly, the applicability of the proposed system was presented, and future directions of the system were discussed.
