IoT Based Patient Health Monitoring System to Combat COVID-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT

Despite the vaccination campaigns in most countries in the world, we see horrible numbers of contaminations and even deaths daily. According to the WHO, 181 521 067 confirmed cases including 3 937 437 deaths. As of 30 June 2021, a total of 2 915 585 482 vaccine doses have been administered. Although efforts to raise awareness of the severity of the corona virus, many people no longer respect the health protocol, which manifests through wearing a mask and respecting physical distancing. Research laboratories have spared no effort to find an effective vaccine. This will help minimize the effects of the virus and save the lives of those infected. On the other hand, COVID-19 patients admitted to hospitals ensure permanent control of their health conditions and intervene at the right time. Saving the lives of these is a necessity, and we are all cooperating to bring life back to its normal pattern before pandemic, which took a toll on countries' economies. This research focuses on the development of an intelligent system based on the IOT for remotely control the covid-19 patient from a monitoring unit. This solution will be very useful for treating patients during COVID-19 outbreak. It is a question of exchanging clinical information between medical staff thanks to new technologies and of putting the patient under permanent control. The virtualized treatment guarantees a healthy environment for personnel. © 2022 IEEE.
