Abstract

Healthcare is an important part of life. Sadly, the spread of Covid-19 has strained the bulk of health systems and therefore the demand for resources from hospital kits to doctors and nurses became extremely high. However, the significant advancement in the computing sector have led to the emergence of Internet of Things (IOT) which has now become one of the most powerful information and communication technologies thanks to its capability to connects object like medical kits, monitoring cameras, home appliances then on… Capitalizing on the efficiency of knowledge retrieval from smart objects in the health sector, it's clear that an answer is important and required to enhance the health sector within the era of Covid-19 pandemic while continuing to supply a high-quality care to patients. In this paper, a real-time covid-19 monitoring system is introduced during a sort of an IOT based bracelet that measures blood heat and blood oxygen level, which are essential factors for determining the patient’s condition and whether he needs a fast intervention to enter ICU room. The bracelet also features a GPS tracker to work out the patient’s commitment to quarantine and social distancing. Based on the study conducted with quite 50 medical stuff, the IOT based bracelet was identified as a promising tool which will help control the spread of the covid-19 virus, by providing a contemporary access to medical healthcare services anywhere and anytime which is beneficial for the patient and hospital management stuff.
