Book Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the healthcare sector across the globe. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) play important roles when dealing with emerging challenges. These technologies are being applied to problems involving the early detection of infections, fast contact tracing, decision-making models, risk profiling of cohorts, and remote treatment. Applying these technologies runs against challenges including interoperability, lack of unified structure for eHealth, and data privacy and security. Emerging Technologies for Combatting Pandemics: AI, IoMT, and Analytics examines multiple models and solutions for various settings including individual, home, work, and society. The world’s healthcare systems are battling the novel coronavirus, and government authorities, scientists, medical practitioners, and medical services are striving hard to surmount these challenges. This book focuses on the design and implementation of AI-based approaches in the proposed COVID-19 solutions that are enabled and supported by IoMT, sensor networks, cloud and edge computing, robotics, and analytics. It covers technologies under the umbrella of AI that include data science, big data, machine learning (ML), semantic technologies, analytics, and cyber security. Highlights of the book include: Epidemic forecasting models Surveillance and tracking systems IoMT and Internet of Healthcare Things-based integrated systems for COVID-19 Social network analysis systems Radiological image- based diagnosis systems Computational intelligence methods This reference work is beneficial for interdisciplinary students, researchers, and healthcare and technology professionals who need to know how computational intelligence could be used for surveillance, control, prevention, prediction, diagnosis, and potential treatment of the disease.

Book Description
Governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are thinking about what happens after the COVID-19 pandemic. Can we hope to not only ward off another COVID-like disaster but also eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu? Bill Gates, one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists, believes the answer is yes. The author of the #1 New York Times best seller How to Avoid a Climate Disaster lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another catastrophe like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world’s foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, Gates first helps us understand the science of infectious diseases. Then he shows us how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, how we can prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy. Here is a clarion call—strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance.

Book Description
Biomedical Innovations to Combat COVID-19 provides an updated overview on the development of vaccines, antiviral drugs and nanomaterials, and diagnostic methods for the fight against COVID-19. Perspectives on such technologies are identified, discussed, and enriched with figures for easy understanding and applicability. Furthermore, it contains basic aspects of virology, immunology, and antiviral drugs that are needed to fully appreciate these innovations. This book is split into four sections: introduction, presenting basic virologic and epidemiological aspects of COVID-19; vaccines against COVID-19, discussing their different types and applications used to develop them; diagnostic approaches for SARS-CoV-2, encompassing advanced sensing and microfluidic-based biosensors; and drug development and delivery, where antivirals based on nanomaterials or drugs are presented. It is a valuable source for virologists, biotechnologists, and members of biomedical field interested in learning more about how novel technologies can be applied to fasten the eradication of the COVID-19 and similar pandemics. - Presents updated literature coverage summarizing the most relevant information on COVID-19 - Written by experts from diverse scientific domains in order to provide readers with a thorough view on the subject - Encompasses tables, figures and information trees especially developed for the book in order to condense and highlight key points for quick reference

Book Description
Using an evidence-based, critical, population health approach, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the key errors and most effective interventions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. It also examines the root determinants of pandemic risk on a global scale and addresses the policy changes to be implemented to prevent future health crises. Part One of the book discusses the lethal errors in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing particularly on those countries that failed to limit the death toll caused by the health crisis. These mistakes include lack of preparation, disinformation, medicalization, adoption of a “laissez-faire the virus” approach and inequity. Part Two analyzes the vital actions that enabled “virtuous” countries to effectively limit the most deadly effects of the pandemic: prevention, immunization and support. Part Three looks at what we should do to prevent the next pandemic. This part examines the proximal social and environmental causes of pandemic risk (e.g., deforestation, industrialized animal farming and climate change), as well as the “causes of the causes,” which include our model of global economic development and its philosophical and ideological underpinnings.
