Concept of the Mobile Monitoring System

Abstract

In connection with the spread of viral diseases caused by COVID-19, its high dynamics and the formation of infection outbreaks were observed. The experience from the first wave of the pandemic showed that, although state-wide measures are effective, they have a significant economic impact and more effective solutions are therefore necessary. In the activities aimed at combating the pandemic caused by COVID-19, one of the most effective means is the isolation of sick patients and the most vulnerable population groups, where the level of risk is the highest. No universally applicable technical solutions which are available on the commercial market would assist in population isolation, in case of protection and monitoring. Creating a mobile monitoring system to protect isolated and at-risk population groups against the spread of viral diseases is highly relevant within Slovakia and with great potential for applicability abroad. This article is focused on the project description that was approved in connection with the protection against the spread of COVID-19, the definition of its main goals, methodology, activities, and benefits.
