Abstract
BackgroundThe outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become the most serious global health issue. Isolation policy in hospitals is one of the most crucial protocols to prevent nosocomial infection of COVID-19. It is important to monitor and assess the physical conditions of the patients in isolation.MethodsOur institution has installed the novel non-contact wireless sensor for vital sign sensing and body movement monitoring for patients in COVID-19 isolation ward.ResultsWe have collected and compared data between the radar record with the nurse’s handover record of two patients, one recorded for 13 days and the other recorded for 5 days. The P value by Fisher’s exact test were 0.139 (temperature, P > 0.05) and 0.292 (heart beat rate, P > 0.05) respectively.ConclusionsThis is the first report about the application experience of this equipment. Therefore we attempted to share the experience and try to apply this equipment in COVID-19 patients in future to offer the more reliable and safe policy.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s10916-020-01637-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
