India’s lack of a crowd control management system has given way to incredible fatalities from stampedes to the spread of COVID-19. But using AI can counter all of these adversities. Deploying AI-powered Bluetooth beacons and wireless mobiles as sensors to detect human stampedes and overcrowding in hospitals and social areas is one way forward.

In India, the problem of crowd management associated with healthcare does not confine itself to the premises of hospitals only. India has been following the culture and tradition of blood donation camps. The frequency of such campaigns can be noticed in East India and in Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, where at least five blood donation camps, called rokto-daan shibir, are held in a year.
