ABSTRACT
The mobile health check device is an IoT based system that has been designed to play a vital role in checking people's health status. It has become very crucial to monitor people's health especially now with this COVID-19 pandemic. Through this device it will be possible for people to check for blood oxygen levels, temperature, blood pressure and heart beat rate without the use of sphygmomanometers at health care centres. Furthermore, the device is not only limited to COVID-19 symptoms detection, but it can also be used for monitoring pneumonia, asthma and other common critical conditions related to the stated parameters. The results of the device are displayed on an LCD screen and also sent to the cloud servers for storage and record keeping. The mobile device proofs to be a quick health screening device for different organisations and at different public places such as at airports, borders, shopping malls, industries, religious centres and educational institutions. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19) is a major problem for many countries in the world. Brunei is also affected by this COVID-19 pandemic in many ways. To alleviate the burden on the health ministry, we developed a low-cost, reliable Internet of Things (IoT) based real-time health monitoring system to diagnose early COVID-19 symptoms for patients at home. This diagnosis includes the three important physiological parameters such as body temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation level (SpO2) in the blood. This system comes with an OLED LCD to display the three parameters. Apart from that, these parameters are also displayed on a mobile dashboard using the Cayenne IoT platform for easy access. This system was evaluated against many people, and the results were compared against the industry-standard pulse oximeters which are remarkably close and dependable. © 2022 IEEE.
