Abstract

At the beginning of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the world needed to develop an innovative, accurate system for caring for and following up with patients remotely to reduce the massive influx of patients into hospitals. Therefore, the well-established Internet of Things (IoT) technology was used to build an applied model for health care. The main objective of this study was to create a system connected to an application that allows continuous remote and early detection of clinical deterioration by monitoring different levels of biometrics to reduce the patient's risk of serious complications. Assessments were conducted on four subjects (two males, two females) aged 30-50 years with COVID-19. The system was examined under conditions and medical supervision in the hospital, following a schedule of vital measurements (oxygen saturation rate, heart rate and temperature). An average of 4 examinations was recorded per day over a week. The model has recorded the mean of error of oxygen saturation rate (SpO2), pulse rate, and body temperature as (0.3975%), (0.2625%) and (2.925%) for four patients.
