IoT Covid Patient Health Monitoring System

Lack of healthcare or inaccessibility of doctors and caregivers is a major concern. The increase in COVID-19 patients is putting tremendous pressure on hospital management in urban areas. Therefore, the development of IoT (Internet of Things) based patient monitoring systems allows doctors to obtain patient data from remote locations. The Internet of Things is an evolving technology that takes healthcare to the next level by providing affordable, reliable, and convenient devices that can be carried or embedded with patients. There is a growing interest in wearable sensors and medical devices. Therefore, wearable monitoring systems will take patient monitoring to a new level. The IoT allows various devices to be connected over the Internet. Data is collected using sensors and sent to the cloud via IoT channels, where both patients and doctors can access the data (real-time and historical) through a variety of devices. Any deviations from the norm will result in alerts being sent to both doctors and patients. This enables doctors to monitor a large number of patients at once.
