\begin{abstract}
The COVID-19 is an exponentially growing disease that has intentioned
nations to use technologies to detect the coronavirus infection. Several
nations are working greatly to fight against COVID-19. Many nations have
been using a range of devices to combat the pandemic, seeking
information about growth, monitoring as well as the leaking the
confidential information of the residents. This research aims to assist
infected people online using the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain
technologies through smart devices. IoT-based healthcare devices gather
useful information, provide additional insight through symptoms and
behaviors, allow remote monitoring, and simply give people better self -
determination and healthcare. Blockchain allows the secure transfer of
patient health information, regulates the medical distribution network.
A four-layer architecture is proposed using IoT and Blockchain to detect
and prevent individuals to be COVID 19. This research provides a
framework for patients with COVID-19 infectious disease and recognizes
health issues and diagnoses online. Smart devices such as smartphones
can install any mobile apps such as Aarogya Setu, Tawakkalna, and so on.
These applications can track COVID-19 patients properly. The
installation of mobile apps on smart devices focuses to reduce the time
and cost and increase the performance of the infectious patient's
condition. A four-layer architecture is proposed using IoT and
Blockchain technologies. Many research works focus on investigating,
analyzing, and highlighting the affected individuals through guiding the
COVID-19 infection. Eventually, various mobile apps are recognized and
addressed in this paper.%
