“…People are increasingly choosing to consult with virtual doctors, due to the advancement of chatbots and conversational AI, which has sped up diagnosis times. Similarly, numerous AI and blockchain-enabled solutions are available to assist in the tracking and trace of pharmaceuticals from the manufacturer to the patient (Sahoo et al , 2020). Six areas where AI can aid in the fight against COVID-19 include early warnings and alerts, tracking and prediction, data dashboards, diagnosis and prognosis, therapies and cures and social control (Senthilraja, 2021).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and other AI-enabled technologies and to describe how COVID-19 affects various industries such as health care, manufacturing, retail, food services, education, media and entertainment, banking and insurance, travel and tourism. Furthermore, the authors discuss the tactics in which information technology is used to implement business strategies to transform businesses and to incentivise the implementation of these technologies in current or future emergency situations. Design/methodology/approach The review provides the rapidly growing literature on the use of smart technology during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Findings The 127 empirical articles the authors have identified suggest that 39 forms of smart technologies have been used, ranging from artificial intelligence to computer vision technology. Eight different industries have been identified that are using these technologies, primarily food services and manufacturing. Further, the authors list 40 generalised types of activities that are involved including providing health services, data analysis and communication. To prevent the spread of illness, robots with artificial intelligence are being used to examine patients and give drugs to them. The online execution of teaching practices and simulators have replaced the classroom mode of teaching due to the epidemic. The AI-based Blue-dot algorithm aids in the detection of early warning indications. The AI model detects a patient in respiratory distress based on face detection, face recognition, facial action unit detection, expression recognition, posture, extremity movement analysis, visitation frequency detection, sound pressure detection and light level detection. The above and various other applications are listed throughout the paper. Research limitations/implications Research is largely delimited to the area of COVID-19-related studies. Also, bias of selective assessment may be present. In Indian context, advanced technology is yet to be harnessed to its full extent. Also, educational system is yet to be upgraded to add these technologies potential benefits on wider basis. Practical implications First, leveraging of insights across various industry sectors to battle the global threat, and smart technology is one of the key takeaways in this field. Second, an integrated framework is recommended for policy making in this area. Lastly, the authors recommend that an internet-based repository should be developed, keeping all the ideas, databases, best practices, dashboard and real-time statistical data. Originality/value As the COVID-19 is a relatively recent phenomenon, such a comprehensive review does not exist in the extant literature to the best of the authors’ knowledge. The review is rapidly emerging literature on smart technology use during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“…This solution talks about solving the issues of counterfeiting, inventory management, and data security of medicines by making use of blockchain technology for traceability and cold chain shipping with the help of transportation of medicines between different entities through IoT-enabled vehicles. Entities in the blockchain which will have access to the information contained in blocks for keeping track of flow of medicines to avoid counterfeiting at any stage are classified as follows [5]: manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies (retailers and wholesalers), hospitals, consumers and travel agencies first of all, a highly authorized body needs to be established which will work under the surveillance of government. The main function of this body is to assign a unique ID to the genuine and legitimate manufacturers and distributors present in the pharma industry and to regulate the movement of batches [21]- [26].…”

“…Lack of visibility in a supply chain raises many questions like how a manufacturing firm will know about the raw materials requirement, and tracing of goods stored in warehouse in semi-finished and finished form as in a multi-layered supply chain management of inventory is an important factor to be taken in account. [5]. However, all these loop holes discussed are major causes of drug shortages [6].…”

The COVID-19 flare-up in late 2019 caused a worldwide medical crisis. In a littlemore than a quarter of a year, the quantity of COVID new cases has risen to in excessof 1,000,000 around the world.The fast transmission of the infection prompts newcases to be accounted for all around the world constantly. At the same time, mortalityrate and contaminations keep on rising rapidly. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemichas led to the implementation of lockdowns and social distancing rules that negativelyimpact global economies. It has upturned many challenges which are mentioned inthis paper,we proposed a solution to these major problems, blockchain technology canplay a vital role in closing maximum escape clauses in the present system to improvevisibility and traceability and to provide a clear far vision for the stakeholders presentin pharmaceutical industry.

“…Tis study discussed how blockchain technology could be used to improve clinical research quality [22]. A similar model to Haq and Muselemu was proposed by Sahoo et al [23]. Te model uses blockchain technology but introduces the use of IoT to track the supply chain process from the manufacturer of a particular product to the consumer/end user.…”

The pharmaceutical company is key to having a strong healthcare system, and excellent healthcare is essential for every society and economy. However, there are significant concerns with medication safety and security as a result of fake and inferior medical items, which constitute a significant hazard and harm to consumers’ health. Globally, drug counterfeiting is a severe problem that endangers the public’s health as well as the health of consumers. The global business of manufacturing fake medications generates enormous annual revenue. To have a quality healthcare system, the pharmaceutical industry is of great importance and plays a vital role in medicine and pharmaceutical supplies. With emerging computer technologies like blockchain and IoT cutting across several industries and sectors and revolutionizing the world, a systematic literature review of various articles chosen from different databases was carried out in this study to analyze and evaluate application areas of this technology in the pharmaceutical industry and existing frameworks that have been proposed to solve problems faced in the pharmaceutical industry. The outcome of this review showed that the application of the blockchain and IoT hybrid framework can assist in reducing the drug counterfeit problem and provide solutions to most of the problems faced in the pharmaceutical industry. This study also proposed a framework that addressed the drawbacks of existing frameworks in the pharmaceutical industry.
