Application of Machine Learning and Blockchain Technology in Fighting against Pandemic

Atul Kumar Singh, Namrata Dhanda, Garima Srivastava

Abstract


The COVID-19 epidemic has had a harmful effect on virtually every field of human life, as well as on diverse business markets and global regions. The flow of human activities has been halted for several months and is now being intentionally redefined in order to comply with guidelines and advice to deter the spread of the Coronavirus. Unlike other pandemics that the world has experienced in the past, the technological developments of the new century are a blessing that will play an important role in protecting humankind. In this context, new technologies such as Block-chain Technology (B.T) and Machine Learning (M.L) have arisen as possible alternatives in the battle against the coronavirus outbreak. In the one hand, Block-chain Technology will fight epidemic by allowing early identification of outbreaks, guarding patient privacy and guaranteeing a stable medical supply chain through epidemic surveillance. Machine Learning, on the other hand, provides clever ways to recognize signs initiated by coronavirus for treatment and aid in the drugs development.
