Remote Patient Monitoring During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Framework of Home Device Manufacturing for IoT-Based BPM and SPO2 Measurements

ABSTRACT

One of the most important issues of the period we are in is the COVID-19 virus. Corona disease has been officially named SARS-CoV-2 by the world health organization. Since March 2002, this disease has been declared as a global epidemic. The COVID-19 virus has killed more than 4 million people. Like many other diseases, early detection of this virus increases the chances of survival. It was observed that the oxygen level in the blood decreased in people who were infected with this virus. The oxygen level in the blood is measured in hospitals using special devices. Measuring the SPO2 value is time consuming and costly. The easiest and cheapest way to solve this problem is to measure the SPO2 value at home. The main purpose of this study is to present a device design that can measure SPO2 and BPM (blood pressure) at home using IoT peripherals in a low-cost way. In this presented design, the algorithm and the devices used are explained in detail. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
