Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic drastically increased the demand for essential medical healthcare equipment’s, medicines along with the strict lockdown conditions to prevent disease transmission. As a result it becomes challenging for healthcare professionals to provide In-person treatment. This poses pressure to perform medical practices besides taking care of the spread of the novel coronavirus. Studies have declared that information technologies have the potential to fulfill customized requirements of COVID-19 pandemic. Thinking about advance technologies and its benefits, this study is going to provide a through literature about the application of advance technologies in real-time. The study also highlights that Telemedicine and Telehealth are the most widely used technological term in the COVID-19 research literature. The first aspect of the study is to search the literature that allowed us to understand the series of advance technologies emerging recently and how they are helpful during this pandemic? The second stream of literature focused on classifying the top 12 technologies under different scenarios as an outcome of the current situation. Study mapped the literature by selecting the final 83 articles to understand the benefits and application of these technologies in different areas of healthcare system.
