Introduction

IoT -Internet of Things is a new innovative technology which includes a bunch of interconnected devices which transmits data without any involvement of humans. IoT is already used in smart homes, such as automatic light or electronic devices which are automatic and easily controllable from a distance using smart speakers or smart phones. This paper is aiming to give awareness of this innovation and its significant application for this content of the disease. As we know that this technology does not use of human interaction and it itself collects the data and sends it automatically, it will become the perfect tool for the effective exchange of data. Currently many problems are arising because of the non-reachability to the patients but now IoT can solve this problem.

Different Study’s

The IoT integrated cloud medical system platform Contains The basic functions of the IoT and has a core graphics processing unit (GPU). Cloud computing systems connected to existing electronic medical records- image archiving and communication can be better assist in deep mine and intelligent diagnosis. These are the following ten functions of IoT are considered beneficial for assistance, supervision and control of medical quality

Ten Function of the nCapp diagnosis and treatment system for COVID-19 based on the Internet of Things.

A. Online Monitoring

Best for online monitoring identifying COVID-19, and guiding graded diagnosis and.

B. Location Tracking

This can be used to locate patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and guide treatment when problems are found.

C. Alarm Linkage

Can provide alarms to monitor the probability of COVID_19 and provide a three-linkage response function to guide graded diagnosis and treatment.

D. Command and Control

This can facilitates the graded diagnosis and consultation of patients with COVID-19.

E. Plan Management

Presets management criteria for the graded diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19 that can be set in advance for the graded management and timely treatment of confirmed, suspected and suspicious cases.

F. Security and Privacy

Conducive to providing a corresponding safety guarantee mechanism for the graded diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.

G. Remote maintenance

Network services uses for graded diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.

H. Online upgrade

Ensure the normal operation of the graded diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19 and provide automatic medical service.

I. Command management

Considered beneficial for experts or managers to deeply investigate or expand the diagnosis and treatment functions based on the massive information collected

Guides how to better prevent and control COVID-19.

J. Statistical decision

Considered beneficial for experts or managers in performing statistical analysis based on thedata of the graded diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.

Summarizes experiences, identifies problems, and proposes solutions.

According to, if we compare the previous generations of mobile network 5G networks are the best among all and hence these should be used for better results. As given in the diagnosis and recommendation are automatically generated and sent to doctors. “The comprehensive perception -> reliable transmission -> intelligent processing” of the IOT technology assist the GPU to manage the app assisted 3 level cloud platforms. Medicos and researchers can use the Smartphone and this software to participate in this three-linkage IOT cloud plus platform according to their needs.

Corona Symptoms

The corona symptoms include fever, cough, loss of smell and taste, breathing difficulties, pulse rate, tiredness and muscle pain.

So, all these can be tasted at home by using body temperature sensors, respiratory rate sensor, pulse sensor and muscle sensor respectively. We can use these sensors to create a network and send the data from the safety of homes to the hospitals.

The Kits

KIT include:

1. Body temperature sensor.

2. Respiratory rate sensor.

3. Pulse sensor

4. Muscle sensor

All these sensors are to be connected to a mobile android application which will test for these daily and send the data to the hospital regularly regarding the same. The doctor can check the data and then can tell whether to collect swab for further tests pr not. This quarantine period everyone needs a proper monitoring system which the IOT kit will provide right from home. All the high risk patients having BP or sugar can be monitored remotely using IOT.

Applications

These are nine different application of IOT for healthcare:

1. Online monitoring — It is the best possible way to monitor.

2. Location tracing with notification to other users in nearby areas to stay alert.

3. Statistical decision — The precise and well informed forecasting will be possible due to rapid real time information.

4. It will help to identify innovative solutions.

5. Wireless healthcare network to identify possible patients.

6. Tele health consultations and automated treatment process.

7. The transparent COVID-19 treatment will ensure that no patient gets discriminated on any basis.

8. The future scope of this kit will include a drone which collect swab from your home only and you will get reports from the safety of your homes.

9. Remote maintenance.

Issues And Future Scope

The main problem of implementing IOT in the present pandemic is the security. The privacy of the patient’s data needs to be taken care of as it can be easily misused if gone into wrong hands. Along with it the data — integration also needs to be taken care of because if any patient’s data mixed with another it is going to be huge blunder. The future scope of this project will take it up to the block chain level.

Conclusion

IoT is an integrated and connected network for healthcare to fight COVID-19. As all devices are connected to internet, if any critical situation arises for the patient immediately the massage gets sent to the doctors and nurses. This technology helps a lot to capture real time data of the infected patient, and then massage the data virtually, so that the follow up on that report also gets relatively easier. In remote place also by using IOT we can easily handle infected cases if well-connected device is present. IOT appears to be the best way to detect and diagnose the infected patient as well as monitor. And in research he real — time data is going to be very important.
