Covid-19: Where is the Digital Transformation, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics?

Abstract

Digital transformation, big data, artificial intelligence and data analytics are probably the most cited computational subjects in the news around the world. Commercial and technical reports (and papers), usually, indicate high level of success in the adoption of these approaches. In contrast, the present war that the world is facing against the Covid-19, it is not common to see many references about these technologies. In this paper, we present a research work which observes approaches on how to effectively adopt these technologies for a public primary healthcare monitoring, based on Internet of Things devices. Partial results from the proposal indicates a differentiated approach to tackle large challenges, similar to these created by the actual Covid-19 pandemic scenario. In addition, our experiments shown that the adoption of these computational topics require a faster digital behavior changes, to the procedures from governments and people, to be successful as environments for individual health enhancement and protection.

Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Enabling Sustainable Supply Chain Management during COVID-19

“…So, the implementation of technological advancements with artificial intelligence tends to an essential change in the models adopted in business, which specifies its goal is to react to socially enduring issues (Lee et al, 2019). Adopting artificial intelligence in organisational, operational procedures reduces organisational costs (Mendonça and Dantas, 2020;Casabayó et al, 2015). These findings also show that artificial intelligence technology has advantages, as productivity, profitability, and efficiency are increased by reducing costs (Lee et al, 2012).…”

Public service innovation in Brazil after covid-19: digital platforms across the levels of public administration

“…(NIC.br, 2020, p. 221). Still, it can be argued that the transition to digitization has been going more slowly than expected (Mendonça & Dantas, 2020). In this context, this paper explores evidence of this trend towards accelerating digitization in the public sector and what are the differences in terms of response and capabilities across the levels of Brazilian public administration.…”

Big Data Analytics: A Catalyst for Digital Transformation in e-Government

“…Moreover, governments must ensure that data is collected, stored, and used in accordance with strict data privacy regulations. Citizens need to have trust in government institutions and their use of data, and thus governments must be transparent about their data practices (Mendonça & Dantas, 2020).…”
