Abstract: |
The recent spread of the new Corona-virus leading to the Covid-19 disease has put tremendous stress on world health sector as corona-virus requires continuous health monitoring and follow-up. Losses of lives in both physicians and patients plagued our communities with no answer to how to monitor patients without putting lives at risk. This emerging new disease imposes a danger to all people suffering from chronic diseases such as heart diseases, respiratory problems, and blood pressure. Furthermore, cross-contamination to physicians became the riskiest factor that restricts their ability to continue working on patients with this highly infectious disease, as they risk both their life and the life of their frequent mainstream patients. Hence the emergence of a new need for new ways to monitor patients with minimal contact and contamination. Thanks to the Internet of things (IoT) development have recently helped us create networks that connect many things through the Internet. Physicians can follow-up with their patients' condition remotely without any physical intervention and contamination. Using wearable devices, specialists have developed at a medium cost so that many people can obtain them with the sole purpose of monitoring the patients' conditions. We can limit if not prevent the losses in physicians and patients altogether. In this paper, we propose a remote health monitoring system to achieve this progression. |
