COVID-19 Patient Health Management System Using IoT

ABSTRACT

In the pandemic situations, the physicians will never have the direct contact with the patients. Hence, a remote health management device is developed in this paper using ESP32 and ThingSpeak cloud application. If a person is suspected of having COVID-19, he has to contact primary health centre of his nearest place where the developed device is already been located. The person has to place the above device in contact with his body to measure temperature, heartbeat, oxygen level and cough. The same device will have the feature to measure room temperature and humidity. Various sensors are used to detect the above parameters. The sensed values will be taken up by ESP32. The data from ESP32 is stored in cloud through ThingSpeak application. The physician can take over the details from cloud and diagnose whether the person is suffering from COVID-19 or not. In this paper, the diagnostic information followed by the physician is the body temperature which is >37.8 °C, heartbeat is >100, oxygen level is <95 and vibration of cough (dry or wet) is >116 db. If these measures are satisfied then the buzzer sounds which alerts the consulting physician. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
