  The Internet of Things, often known as IoT, is an innovative technology that
connects digital devices all around us, allowing Machine to Machine (M2M)
communication between digital devices all over the world. Due to the
convenience, connectivity, and affordability, this IoT is being served in
various domains including healthcare where it brings exceptional benefits to
improve patient care, uplifting medical resources to the next level. Some of
these examples include surveillance networks, healthcare delivery technologies,
and smart thermal detection. As of now, the IoT is served in various aspects of
healthcare making many of the medical processes much easier as opposed to the
earlier times. One of the most important aspects that this IoT can be used is,
managing various aspects of healthcare during global pandemics, as pandemics
can bring an immense strain on healthcare resources, during the pandemic. As
there is no proper study is done with regards to the proper use of IoT for
managing pandemics, in this regard, through our study we aim to review various
use cases of IoT towards managing pandemics especially in terms of COVID-19;
owing to what we are currently going through. In this regard, we are proposing
a conceptual framework synthesizing the current literature and resources, which
can be adopted when managing global pandemics to accelerate the battle pace
with these deadly pandemics and focusing on what the entire world is currently
going through where almost more than four (04) million people are diminished of
this COVID-19 pandemic.
