Innovative IOT Covid-19 Monitoring System to Ameliorate Medical Professionals

Special quarantine centers setup to handle COVID-19 patients have experienced an overflow of patients as cases of the infectious disease keep on rising. Doctors assigned to these quarantine centers have had a difficult time keeping track of the health conditions of the patients in quarantine. The doctors assigned to such setups have an increased risk of infection due to their interactions with the patients. In order to enable the health workers to efficiently monitor the quarantined patients and reduction of in-service infections, this study proposes to design an innovative IOT based using IOT Gecko platform health monitoring system able to remotely monitor the health of the patients and send automated reports to doctors’ over a set internet connection. The proposed system will be equipped with heartbeat sensor, temperature sensor and BP Sensor to keep track of respective health conditions of the patients. If successfully designed and implemented, the systems will be enable doctors to remotely monitor patient’s heartbeat, temperature and blood pressure reducing the risks of infection and increasing the number of patients a single doctor can monitor at a time.
