A Review of the Role of Smart Wireless Medical Sensor Network in COVID-19
Abstract
The new global predicament situation has raised questions on our healthcare systems and its endurance to deliver quality medical services. It is for those tormented with COVID-19 and other patients suffering from other chronic, acute, trauma, and other communicable diseases while shielding the doctors, nurses, and other associated medical employees when treating the patients. The immense adaptation to sensors networks demonstrates its usefulness as a tool for the present so-called social distancing in the clinical monitoring of COVID-19 patients or other settings. The utilization of Wireless Medical Sensor Network (WMSN) upsurges the prominence for those who work for long hours treating COVID-19 patients, exposing themselves while risking their lives. This paper attempts to explore few good practices identified from the current pandemic, with a precise and robust vision of deploying sensor networks to accomplish quality healthcare while reducing the potential threat of COVID-19 transmission to general masses while treating others.
