Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic, also known as the COVID-19 pandemic, is an ongoing virus. It was first identified on December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and later spread to 192 countries. As of now, 251,266,207 people have been affected, and 5,070,244 deaths are reported. Due to the growing number of COVID-19 patients, the demand for COVID wards is increasing. Telemedicine applications are increasing drastically because of convenient treatment options. The healthcare sector is rapidly adopting telemedicine applications for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Most telemedicine applications are developed for heterogeneous environments and due to their diverse nature, data transmission between similar and dissimilar telemedicine applications is a difficult task. In this paper, we propose a Tele-COVID system architecture design along with its security aspects to provide the treatment for COVID-19 patients from distance. Tele-COVID secure system architecture is designed to resolve the problem of data interchange between two different telemedicine applications, interoperability, and vendor lock-in. Tele-COVID is a web-based and Android telemedicine application that provides suitable treatment to COVID-19 patients. With the help of Tele-COVID, the treatment of patients at a distance is possible without the need for them to visit hospitals; in case of emergency, necessary services can also be provided. The application is tested on COVID-19 patients in the county hospital and shows the initial results.

Highlights

  • The COVID-19 pandemic was discovered in Wuhan, Hubei China, in December 2019, which has later spread to several nations

  • Suggestion: We provide the solution based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) security that is represented in Figure 2, where the patient will send the message that will be digested

  • Telemedicine applications are being adopted widely to treat COVID-19 patients as they provide treatment to patients without having them explicitly pay a visit to the hospital

Summary

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic was discovered in Wuhan, Hubei China, in December 2019, which has later spread to several nations. As of 12 November 2021; almost 252,097,350. 5ae62e5c06e61 (accessed on 30 September 2021)) humans have been infected with COVID19 and the death percentage is approximately 2.1%. The COVID-19 is declared a worldwide pandemic where the human death ratio has increased. With an increasing number of COVID-19 patients, hospitals were out of space, and even in a few countries were not accepting new patients due to the lack of wards and space available. It has been discovered that COVID-19 is not harmful until or unless it is spread to the lungs [1]. The chances are lower for asymptomatic cases to transmit COVID-19 from one human to another [2]
