Internet of Things-based Smart Healthcare Systems, Wireless Connected Devices, and Body Sensor Networks in COVID-19 Remote Patient Monitoring

(Poppas et al , 2020) Telemedicine can perpetuate access and stability of patient care, support frontline medical personnel, upgrade in-person services, and diminish infectious circulation of COVID-19 through wireless connected devices and body sensor networks Survey Methods and Materials The interviews were conducted online and data were weighted by five variables (age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, and geographic region) using the Census Bureau's American Community Survey to reflect reliably and accurately the demographic composition of the United States Study participants were informed clearly about their freedom to opt out of the study at any point of time without providing justification for doing so 5 Results and Discussion Patients with nonurgent medical conditions can harness their own smartphones or tablets to carry out a video visit with an emergency department provider, reducing exposure for patients and providers, and decreasing dispensable personal protective equipment utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic (Hirko et al , 2020) Screening individuals for possible participation in a trial, receiving informed consent, and clinical outcomes of volunteered subjects not requiring labs or checkup can be performed adequately by deploying remote monitoring tools and telehealth online consultations, thus configuring a more patient-centered, precautionary, interactive, and viable model of care by use of Internet of Things-based smart healthcare systems, wireless connected devices, and body sensor networks in COVID-19 remote patient monitoring
