Sitharthan, R.; Rajesh, M.

The pandemic situation has pretentious the habitual life of the human, it also has surpassed the regional, social, business activities and forced human society to live in a limited boundary. In this paper, the application of the internet of things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) based system to combat pandemic situation in health care application has been discussed. The developed ML and IoT based monitoring system help in tracking the infected persons from the previous data and makes them get isolate from the non-infected person. The developed ML combined IoT system uses parallel computing in tracking the pandemic disease and also in the prevention of pandemic disease by predicting and analysing the data using artificial intelligence. The implementation of ML-based IoT in the pandemic situation in healthcare application has proved its performance in tracking and prevents the spreading of pandemic disease. It also further has a positive impact on reducing medical costs and has recorded improved treatment for infected patients. The proposed methodology has an accuracy of 93 % in monitoring and tracking. The result obtained help in preventing the spread of the pandemic and provide support to the healthcare system.
