IoT based Patient Health Care for COVID 19 Centre

Abstract

In this paper, COVID 19 centre monitoring and management system has been proposed and integration of different sensor network with Internet of Things (IoT). The sensors implemented can communicate with data collection and processing unit. The data collection done by that unit can directly transferred to cloud using internet connectivity at COVID 19 centre. Therefore work aimed to propose COVID 19 centre management with IoT based approach to handle medical services and patient monitoring and treatment work flow. In the experimented model, Node MCU ESP8266 controller and temperature sensor (DHT11) are integrated. A system has capability to monitor and control COVID 19 centre services and patient monitoring via remote connection. It is evaluated with three temperature sensors connected to measure temperature of patients. Mobile based blynk has been utilized for the cloud based IoT implementation. Sensor sends data over blynk server and then can be seen anywhere using smart phone application. In addition, when patient get fever more than regular value, an alert was sent to authority in a quick time. After results, it is indicated that the developed system has effective potential to work in pandemic situation and has technological feasibility. The benefits of implemented research methods are useful in digital health management in pandemic scenario. Even hospitals, COVID centers, intensive care unit (ICU) can be operated effectively and patient diagnosis application based on online database has wide scope in the area of internet of things and patient health management.
