Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems worldwide, with India being no exception. Accurate forecasting of the disease's progression and effective bed management are crucial for optimizing healthcare resources and ensuring timely care for patients. This study presents an innovative approach to COVID-19 management in India by leveraging machine learning techniques for forecasting and optimizing bed allocation. Machine learning models, such as time series forecasting and epidemiological models, are employed to predict COVID-19 case trends, hospitalizations, and resource requirements at both national and regional levels. These models are continuously updated with real-time data, allowing for dynamic adjustments to the evolving situation. Furthermore, demographic, geographic, and healthcare infrastructure data are integrated to provide a comprehensive view of the pandemic's impact on various regions within India. Resource management strategies are crucial to ensure that healthcare facilities are prepared for surges in COVID-19 cases. Machine learning algorithms are used to allocate beds efficiently, considering factors such as patient severity, resource availability, and geographical spread of cases. This dynamic approach enables healthcare authorities to redirect resources where they are most needed and proactively respond to emerging hotspots. The results of this study highlight the effectiveness of machine learning-based forecasting and resource management in improving the allocation of healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. By utilizing data-driven approaches, India can better anticipate and adapt to the challenges posed by the virus, ultimately improving patient care and reducing the strain on the healthcare system. This research contributes valuable insights to the field of pandemic management and demonstrates the potential of machine learning in addressing healthcare crises, not only in India but also in other regions facing similar challenges.
