Advanced Gadgets for Covid Crisis Using IoT

Abstract

Coronavirus disease COVID-19 has emerged as a pandemic with serious clinical manifestations including death. A pandemic at a large-scale like COVID-19 places extraordinary demands on the world’s health systems, dramatically devastate vulnerable populations, and critically threatens the global communities in an unprecedented way. While tremendous efforts are made at the frontline and are placed on detecting the virus, providing treatments, and developing vaccines, it is also critically important to examine the technologies and systems for tackling disease emergence, arresting its spread, and especially the strategy for disease prevention. Advanced gadgets for the COVID crisis using IOT aims to review enabling technologies and systems with various application scenarios for handling the COVID-19 crisis. The article will focus specifically on wearable devices suitable for monitoring the populations at risk and those in quarantine, both for evaluating the health status of caregivers and management personnel, the system consists of a Raspberry Pi Camera for automatically scanning the barcodes of an individual ID card. Automatically collected information will be maintained for further communication and diagnosis usage of an unobtrusive sensing system during quarantine for monitoring patient's health parameters with relatively mild symptoms whose clinical situation could suddenly worsen in improvised hospitals telehealth technologies for the remote monitoring and diagnosis of the COVID-19 and related diseases. Finally, further challenges and opportunities for the future direction of development are highlighted.
