AN IOT-BASED HEALTHCARE PLATFORM FOR PATIENTS IN ICU BEDS DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

Abstract

Intensive Care is where the patients who are critically ill are admitted for treatment. For such critical
conditions the Doctors need to have an all-time update patient’s health related parameters like their blood
Heart pulse, heart beat and temperature. To do manually, this is too tedious a task and also for multiple
patients it becomes close to impossible. For this type of situation, this IOT-based system can bring about
automation that can keep the Doctors updated all time on the internet. There is a global concern with the
escalating number of patients at hospitals caused mainly by population aging, chronic diseases, and recently
the COVID-19 outbreak. To smooth this challenge, IOT emerges as an encouraging paradigm because it
provides the scalability required for this purpose, supporting continuous and reliable health monitoring on
a global scale. Based on this context, an IOT-based healthcare platform provides remote monitoring for
patients in critical situations.
