COVID-19: Prediction, Decision-Making, and its Impacts

Abstract

The issue of COVID-19 surfaced in late December of 2019. Since then, it is a global threat. One of the major attributes of COVID-19 is the highly infectious nature of the virus. Researchers have been trying to find ways to cure or at least prevent additional spreading. In the literature, we observe developments toward COVID-19 positive case detection with the use of artificial intelligence-driven tools (Santosh in J Med Syst 44:93 [1]). As multitudinal and multimodal data can make a difference in decision-making, there has recently been a trend to put together several datasets of varied sizes over time. Besides, COVID-19 has socio-economic impact across the World. In this chapter, we provide a quick understanding of COVID-19 from both technical innovations (AI-driven tools for prediction and detection) and socio-economic issues. In other words, challenges, innovations and opportunities are discussed in this chapter.
