Pandemic Management for Diseases Similar to COVID-19 Using Deep Learning and 5G Communications
Open accessAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on the world. The pandemic has caused considerable death and suffering, triggered economic downturns, and led to significant job loss. Both during and after the pandemic, sophisticated and effective measures must be taken to diagnose COVID-19 patients and mitigate the effects of the virus. Emerging developments in the Internet of Things (IoT), 4G, 5G, and 6G wireless networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technology can be harnessed to combat COVID-19. The implementation of IoT in hospitals enables highly integrated digital environments and real-time data collection, which can be utilized to identify clinical patterns, model risk interactions, and forecast effects via AI and deep learning systems. This article emphasizes the potential uses of IoT, AI, and 5G for combating pandemics similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then the authors propose a solution that uses federated learning and integrates these three technologies. Experiments were performed using cough sounds and chest X-ray images; the experiments yielded promising results.

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.
