Abstract

End of 2019 had seen global spread of the deadly coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, which kills people, puts a large portion of the world in danger, and poses a serious threat to all of the world's nations. Leading medical professionals are working extremely hard to identify the virus, develop treatments for it, and create the vaccines that are required to stop and limit its spread. This study intends to develop a low-cost electronic health system to observe patients with covid infections and lessen the work required of clinicians. An enhanced approach for remote health monitoring in hospitals or detention facilities is offered by the internet of things (IoT). The IoT keeps and displays the patient's medical data via a web browser or through specialized apps that offer remote treatment once the sensors collect it. When a patient is in danger, the system offers immediate action to send alarms by email and SMS and to rapidly provide drugs to the patient. Doctors will be updated on each patient's condition thanks to this message.
