Abstract

The recent spread of the new Corona-virus leading to the Covid-19 disease has put tremendous stress on world health sector as corona-virus requires continuous health monitoring and follow-up. Losses of lives in both physicians and patients plagued our communities with no answer to how to monitor patients without putting lives at risk. This emerging new disease imposes a danger to all people suffering from chronic diseases such as heart diseases, respiratory problems, and blood pressure. Furthermore, cross-con- tamination to physicians became the riskiest factor that restricts their ability to continue working on patients with this highly infec- tious disease, as they risk both their life and the life of their fre- quent mainstream patients. Hence the emergence of a new need for new ways to monitor patients with minimal contact and contamina- tion. Thanks to the Internet of things (IoT) development have re- cently helped us create networks that connect many things through the Internet. Physicians can follow-up with their patients' condition remotely without any physical intervention and contamination. Us- ing wearable devices, specialists have developed at a medium cost so that many people can obtain them with the sole purpose of mon- itoring the patients' conditions. We can limit if not prevent the losses in physicians and patients altogether. In this paper, we pro- pose a remote health monitoring system to achieve this progression.
