Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has globally impacted humanity. Human health, productivity, social life and function is affected. Every country has felt effects, domestic as well as international. Emerging technologies also known as disruptive technologies have played a significant role in the pandemic. This literature review is a manifest overview on the utilization of existing technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats of the innovative technologies under review have been summarized. Their benefits and further scope of disruptive innovations have been reviewed. The review aims to identify and highlight approaches/gaps for improvement and future application.
