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.
