With COVID-19 Epidemic, the volume of patients exploded in hospitals in most cities around the world. Hospitals must make sure that all patients are treated fairly; some people will still have heart attacks and strokes. The hospitals are figuring out how to juggle the patients who require ordinary urgent care with those who are sick from the new coronavirus.
Technology in recent years witnessed the emergence of a wireless sensor network in healthcare. Sensors are devices that detect physical, chemical, and biological signals and provide a way for those signals to be measured and recorded include temperature, pressure, vibration, etc. Sensors are embedded in a variety of medical instruments for use at hospitals, clinics, and homes, sensors provide patients and their healthcare provider’s insight into physiological and physical health states that are critical to the detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
Healthcare applications impose strict requirements on end-to-end system reliability and data delivery. For example, pulse oximetry applications, which measure the levels of oxygen in a person’s blood, must deliver at least one measurement every 30 seconds. The developed system would inform the doctor in case of emergency through alarms. As wireless technology is emerging day by day, the use of latest wireless technology may overcome these issues which ultimately increases the applicability and usefulness of the proposed remote monitoring system where sensors and wearable allow continuous physiological monitoring with reduced manual intervention and at low cost. Advanced monitoring systems are urgent and required nowadays with COVID-19 disease. Many wearable technology products can use multiple digital health sensors that are typically integrated into sensor networks comprising other body-worn sensors and/or ambient sensors
