Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ensures the ability of healthcare professionals by allowing them to remotely access each patient’s personalized and accurate data. The accuracy, as well as the speed of treatments and diagnosis, is greatly improved as well. IoMT also enables healthcare professionals to monitor the status of their patients’ health in real-time. The behavior of people can be recorded with the intent of getting an online diagnosis, thus managing their one’s health is more effective. Tools like sensors and tracking devices, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring (RPM) and also virtual assistance makes these things happen. Perhaps healthcare professionals are mostly benefited by IoMT in their professions. So, in the case of a pandemic (COVID-19), our proposed application can spread the facilities of IoMT among the general people. The main purpose of this application is to make a system that compresses the number of coronavirus affected people by the extent of awareness. People can track data of confirmed, recovered, and fatal cases globally and locally through this app. People can also get information about the nearest COVID-19 hospitals with google map and get their helpline numbers. All these can be very important for Bangladesh, being a developing country. They can easily make doctor appointments through the system. People can get information about plasma & blood donation and they also can donate their blood and plasma by a requesting process. Users' information about their health can be saved in the cloud system from time to time so that a doctor can easily get all the information. So, our proposed app can help to control the COVID-19 pandemic situation and people will be benefited.

Effective Diagnosis

Corona virus disease19 has spread over the world, affecting millions of people. It has put enormous strain on the global healthcare system. Due to frequent mutations, the pandemic is spreading rapidly. The world requires a technology that will facilitate the effective diagnosis, treatment, and discharge of COVID19 patients. A model like remote patient monitoring [RPM] makes it easier to handle Covid 19 patients. RPM helps in remotely diagnosis, treatment, as well as allowing for prompt interventions. The RPM makes use of mobile technology and IoT platforms to take clinical interventions. In this study out of 151 covid19 positive subjects 91% of them were shifted to home monitoring within 5 days of MVM monitoring with few readmissions. The study investigated the effectiveness of RPM in the Indian healthcare system, as well as the performance and usability of the Vigocare mobile application by patients and doctors.

Abstract Background Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMS) based on e-health, Nurse Navigators (NNs) and patient engagement can improve patient follow-up and have a positive impact on quality of care (by limiting adverse events) and costs (by reducing readmissions). However, the extent of this impact depends on effective implementation which is often restricted. This is partly due to the lack of attention paid to the RPMS design phase prior to implementation. The content of the RPMS can be carefully designed at this stage and various obstacles anticipated. Our aim was to report on an RPMS process design to provide an insight into the methodology required in order to manage this phase and the ultimate outcome in terms of RPMS content. Methods This study was carried out at Gustave Roussy, a comprehensive cancer centre in France. A multidisciplinary team comprising hospital managers, healthcare professionals and health service researchers coordinated the CAPRI RPMS design process (2013-2015). It is based on data collected during eight studies conducted in accordance with the principle framework of the UK Medical Research Council (MRC). This project was approved by the French National Data Protection Authorities. Results Based on the study results, the multidisciplinary team defined strategies for resolving obstacles and risks prior to the implementation of CAPRI. Consequently, the final CAPRI design includes a web app with two interfaces (patient and health care professionals) and two NNs. The NNs provide regular follow-up via telephone and/or email to manage patients' symptoms and toxicity, treatment compliance and care packages. Patients contact the NNs via a secure messaging system. Eighty graduation and orientation algorithms enable NNs to prioritise and decide on the course of action to be taken. Conclusion In our experience, the RPMS design process and, more generally, that of any complex intervention programme, is an important phase that requires a sound methodological basis. This study also suggests that an RPMS is more than a technological innovation. Indeed, it is an organisational innovation, the merits of which will depend on the precise definition given to the action taken by NNs and other healthcare professionals as well as patients throughout their interactions.

Remote Patient

"The development and use of home monitoring or remote patient monitoring has rapidly evolved due to scaling down of face-to-face patient care during the corona pandemic. Home monitoring systems for Covid-19 as well as for other conditions are proliferating. One of the stated goals of home monitoring systems is to promote patient empowerment. However, this concept is hardly well defined and often used in a rhetorical way. In this presentation, we will discuss the findings of our empirical study into the views of patients, healthcare professionals and policy makers regarding patient empowerment. We report on the results of two case studies of home monitoring systems in the Netherlands implemented during the corona crisis, in which we study, first, what patients, healthcare professionals and policy makers understand patient empowerment to be, and second, whether they think patient empowerment is actually promoted in these contexts. Finally, we will describe different interpretations or degrees of patient empowerment – compliant, concordant, and collaborative - and normatively argue for home monitoring systems that promote optimal patient empowerment.
