Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented health and economic worldwide crisis. Innovative solutions are imperative given limited resources and immediate need for medical supplies, healthcare support and treatments. AIM: The purpose of this review is to summarize emerging technologies being implemented in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19. RESULTS: Key focus areas include the applications of artificial intelligence, the use of Big Data and Internet of Things, the importance of mathematical modeling for predictions, utilization of technology for community screening, the use of nanotechnology for treatment and vaccine development, the utility of telemedicine, the implementation of 3D-printing to manage new demands and the potential of robotics. CONCLUSION: The review concludes by highlighting the need for collaboration in the scientific community with open sharing of knowledge, tools, and expertise.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Robots, including humanoids, performed surgeries and medical operations to limit staff exposure during COVID-19.

    “Medical surgeries and operations were also carried out by robots including humanoids to reduce the exposure of medical staff that was already stressed out due to high COVID-19 cases [124, 125].”

    From Robotics cyber security: vulnerabilities, attacks, countermeasures, and recommendations (2022) · cites this paper as [124]

    The Robotics section (page not provided) says robotic surgery can reduce medical staff exposure during COVID-19 and that robots can perform procedures. It does not identify humanoid robots or establish that they carried out surgeries, rather than describing robotic surgery as an option. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
