Abstract
Patients in ICU are meant to be monitored often and treated accordingly. In the case of diseases like COVID-19, patient health monitoring becomes an essential part. Instant changes in patient vital signs might produce different results in their body conditions. In current systems, nurses are often required to be with the patients to monitor and track their health condition. Due to this, it becomes hectic for the nurses to monitor all the patients at all times. The current system makes the nurses’ tasks difficult to manage. But this problem is fixed by the proposed system, thereby reducing the activity. The proposed framework consists of IoT nodes (sensors that collect data), a (mobile) smartphone application, and machine learning tools that estimate patient mortality based on vital signs. The IoT node tracks the patient's vital signs such as temperature, oxygen saturation, and heart rate, updates the mobile application, and displays the user's health with a "normal" or "critical" condition. The application reports the patient’s conditions to the nurses immediately with an alarm if the patient reaches a “critical” condition. This automation system takes care of monitoring the patients from anywhere at any time.
