Key Applications of State-of-the-Art Technologies to Mitigate and
Eliminate COVID-19
Abstract
COVID-19 has stunned the global economy and threatened human life. Due
to rapidly emerging fatalities and enormous cases appearing every day,
researchers across the globe are producing significant contributions to
mitigate this pandemic. Besides the race for discovering a vaccine and
treatment for COVID-19, there is utmost focus on flattening the curve by
undertaking appropriate measures. The remarkable role of frontline
medical practitioners, who are eagerly treating the affected people will
be penned in the history books. The efforts of scientists and
technologists will be remembered for their extraordinary contributions
to assist healthcare professionals and governments in mitigating the
threats of COVID-19. Leading technology firms have formed consortiums
and research groups, which provide funding and free access to
supercomputers for solving complex computational problems to eliminate
COVID-19. In this research, we have unveiled five state-of-the-art
technologies and their remarkable applications that can be used to
mitigate and eliminate the problems of COVID-19. These technologies
include Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D Printing Technology (3DPT), Big
Data Analytics (BDA), High Performance Computing (HPC) and
Telecommunication Technology (TT). This research investigates the use of
technology to encounter COVID-19 and aims to serve as the primary
reference for promoting future research as well as developments to
produce solutions for COVID-19 using AI, 3DPT, BDA, HPC and TT.
