Remote Monitoring System Dedicated To COVID-19 Patients Healthcare

Abstract

In 2019, COVID-19 posed a challenge to the whole world. Till today, it confuses the scientists as it has no defined medication. This paper aims to design a cost-efficient system that can monitor mild and serious cases of COVID-19 patients by continuously measuring and recording their health status throughout studying the obvious symptoms of COVID-19. The collected data can then be evaluated by nearby health centers and proper medical intervention will take place in times of emergency. This system shall protect doctors from too much contact with the patients. It will also alleviate the financial and emotional pressure that patients face during their stay in hospitals. In addition, it can act as one of the solutions to improve the low-standard healthcare system in Egypt [1]. In comparison to the prior applied systems, it has been found that the designed system is cost efficient, simpler in structure and more dedicated to COVID-19 virus. The proposed system is designed to include a transmitter, a receiver, and a virtual communication channel adopting IoT technology. The implemented part of the system is centered on the sensory and the patients’ interactions with the system. The obtained results revealed its efficiency compared to the state of the art systems.
