ABSTRACT
In today's world of medical science, remote patient monitoring devices are becoming more important and a future need particularly in the present COVID-19 situation as individuals are preferred to be kept isolated. Patients would be benefited from a suitable monitoring system that measures their important medical parameters such as pulse rate, oxygen saturation or SpO2, body temperature, blood pressure, and Galvanized Skin Response (GSR). This system can increase the medical staff efficiency by drastically decreasing their duties in hospitals and the need to attend to them individually. Patients in their home isolation may utilize the device as well, and their vital indicators may be checked by doctors remotely. In this work, we are prototyping a powerefficient, wearable medical kit and a resource-aware fog network set up to handle the Internet of Things (IoT) data traffic. The idea behind the design is to process the critical medical sensors' data in the fog nodes which are deployed at the edge of the network. The data thus received, is used for a machine learning-based solution for personal health anomalies and COVID-19 infection risk analysis. © 2022 IEEE.
