Abstract

COVID-19 has generated needs for health tools, medications, and applications in information technology. Industry 4.0 is about techniques like artificial intelligence (AI) or robots as tools that are designed to carry improvement in responding to the changing world. According to scientific data, industry 4.0 offers novel insights and solutions to national and international health agencies. Healthcare system 4.0 (HCS 4.0), a part of the fourth industrial transformation, could meet demands in the disaster of COVID-19. There are valuable HCS 4.0 techniques that could assist in controlling and managing the pandemic via detecting and diagnosing COVID-19 and other associated issues. For instance, HCS 4.0 could meet the demands for face masks, gloves, and gather information for health sectors to adequately address the infected cases with COVID-19. It is also important to deliver daily updates about infected cases, including demographics via surveillance systems. Applying such techniques adequately could improve public health communication and education. Ultimately, the techniques for HCS 4.0 could offer many novel interventions for addressing local and universal catastrophes in health. This chapter explores the leading HCS 4.0 techniques that could address this pandemic, highlighting real-world applications, opportunities, challenges, and future insights.
