Abstract

Alzheimer patient’s routine care at the onset of a catastrophe like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is interrupted as healthcare is providing special attention to the patient having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) or COVID-19 infection. In order to decrease the spread of the disease, government has shut down regular services at the hospital, and advised all vulnerable people to stay at home and maintain social distance (of 3 fts) which hampered the routine care and rehabilitation therapy of elderly patient having a chronic disease like Alzheimer. On the other hand, the artificial intelligence (AI)-based internet of healthcare things allows clinicians to monitor physiological conditions of patients in real-time and machine learning models can able to detect any anomaly in the patient’s condition. Besides, the advancement in Information and Communication Technology enable us to provide special distance care (such as medication and therapy) by dedicated medical teams or special therapists. This paper discusses the effect of COVID-19 on patient care of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and how AI-based IoT can help special care of AD patients at home. Finally, we have outlined some recommendations for Family and Caregiver, Volunteer and Social Care which will help to develop the Government policy.
