Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the rise of telehealth modalities to relieve the incredible stress the pandemic has placed on the healthcare system. This rise has seen the emergence of new software, applications, and hardware for home-based physiological monitoring, leading to the promise of innovative predictive and therapeutic practices. This article is a literature-based review of the most promising technologies and advances regarding home-based physiological monitoring of patients with COVID-19. We conclude that the applications currently on the market, while helping stem the flow of patients to the hospital during the pandemic, require additional evidence related to improvement in patient outcomes. However, new devices and technology are a promising and successful venture into home-based monitoring with clinical implications reaching far into the future.
