Emerging Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) Technology for Fast Response to Covid-19 Outbreak With ANOVA-K-NN Implementation

摘要

The internet of things (IoT) is a fast-growing technology that interconnects devices, homes, hospitals, facilities,and other locations together for faster transmission of dataand communication. The present critical situation which is thecoronavirus disease (COVID-19 ) outbreak. This pandemic hascaused a lot of economic meltdowns coupled with instabilitiesand loss of lives worldwide. Several types of research andtechnologies have been implemented to tackle this pandemic.This study describes the vital steps to follow in IoT technologyand the emerging advances it offers for rapid response tothe COVID-19 outbreak in order to save lives and to put anend to the pandemic. Some key threats surrounding the IoTtechnology were highlighted in this study, however, if copedand implemented appropriately, rapid prevention of infection,monitoring of infected and suspected patients, treatment ofinfected patients, and forecasting of adequate solutions for a better environment is assured. Furthermore,Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) algorithm was used to fetch relevant information, andk-nearest neighbor (k-NN) was used as a classifier to predict theperformance of the COVID-19 Iot data system obtained fromSan Francisco University. An accuracy of 79.17% was achieved.Therefore, this study will be proficient especially for cliniciansin making decisions in the post COVID era.
