Artificial Intelligence in Action-Against COVID-19

Abstract

Purpose: This paper targets in emphasizing the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its importance to find solutions against COVID-19 outbreak .This study identify the potential of AI and its applications in various areas, also highlight challenges and issues associated with the diagnosis of the infected patients, and finally come up with suggestive approaches for treatments and control.

Design/Methodology/Approach: In this paper, we searched for SARS COVID-19 data for medical literature and statistics between 20 January and 21 May 2020 from various trusted websites. We characterized the role of AI in the health industry, its importance in different purposes like for detection of areas, tracking ,prediction, providing cloud based data to researchers, assisting in diagnosis of disease and developing vaccines by studying its underlying structure of protein of virus using various algorithms. Suggestive approaches for treatments and control followed by special measures for old aged and diabetes patients also discussed along with future scope of machine learning in prevention of pandemic.

Findings: The present study reveals that Artificial intelligence has been extensively used in almost every area of the health industry. Talking about companies like (https://www. metabiota.com/), (https://bluedot.global/) used AI for parsing data and providing alerts .Additionally, Proximity Tracing, Symptom tracker, mobile apps are making use of deep learning in one or the other way. Thus, we need to provide training, useful information and resources to health department in an appropriate manner, which makes them easy to accelerate the process of diagnosis and treatment of COVID patients.

Originality/Value: It is believed that the information collected here will help researchers and health departments to drive for the solutions against COVID-19. At present, no vaccine has been found to keep from COVID-19, however, legitimate technology, information, and safety measures can assist every single individual to fight against that pandemic of sickness.
