| Abstract | ||||
| With the strain on healthcare infrastructure and healthcare workers due to the ongoing COVID'19 pandemic, the need for novel ways to simplify the interaction between patients and physicians has increased. The aim is mainly to reduce face-to-face interactions and free more time and resources for those who urgently need it. This paper presents a Telemedicine system which can be used as an alternative method to a doctor's visit. The proposed system is considered as an interface that remotely connects the patient and the doctor. The system regularly measures and uploads readings from the patient to a database which the doctor can remotely review to decide on the state of the patient. The whole system is based on the internet of medical things (IoMT). In the proposed system, sensors collect and send data over the internet using the WIFI module connected to a node MCU controller. The developed prototype uses two sensors, one is used to measure both the percentage of oxygen in the blood and heart rate while the other sensor measures the temperature of the human body. The aim of this work is to help patients, by offering them this solution which can help them get the care they require from the comfort of their home and at the same time help doctors remotely give them the suitable treatment while reducing the need for unnecessary face-to-face interactions. | ||||
