The COVID-19 pandemics have highlighted the importance of leveraging and harnessing our digital infrastructure enabling remote health monitoring. We foresee the need for more powerful diseases diagnosis and monitoring of personal and group health, which might be supported by wearable sensors, since conventional virus testing and vaccinations are delayed. Also, Internet of Things (IoT) has gained traction in a variety of research sectors, including academic and industrial settings, particularly in healthcare. By merging economic, social, and technological perspectives, IoT revolution reshapes today's healthcare systems. It evolves from traditional medical services to far more individualised programs that allow patient monitoring, diagnosis & treatment more convenient. IoT with wearable has recognized as a dominant component of healthcare transformation. When commonly diagnosed, wearable devices are linked to the internet, it may acquire vital information that might save lives. Also, models designed regulates and continuously monitors the condition of the patient by employing an network infrastructure during pandemics, reducing stress of health care providers, minimising medical errors, decrease the amount of work and medical staff productivity, lowering on-going medical cost and improving patient experience. Developing a convenient and accurate wearable device for earlier detection, assessment during social distance, as well as recovery is important during COVID-19 outbreak. As a result, numerous researchers devised wearable models; this study looks at the effect of wearable body sensors based on IoT technology in fighting COVID-19. In addition, the advantages of wearable devices are contrasted to those of traditional approaches.
