Implementation of Remote Nursing of COVID-19 Patient Based USB Camera and Wi-Fi Module

Abstract

The medical care field is a very complicated one, because it associates with people as how far they suffer from different types of diseases, where often, an inadequate or uncomfortable environment which leads to an inconvenience results. This work will provide the technology that to make the patient environment more suitable, more comfortable, and consequential to satisfy the most patient requirements, adaptability, this system manage the number of visitors inside the patient’s room so as to reduce the spreading of infections and disturbances causing by them by using IR sensor. This system uses Atmega32 as system controller with web camera attached to PC for remote monitoring of patient room, and GSM for remote communication with doctors and nurse. The web camera is controlled via stepper motor which direct the camera according to the specific position on demand. The communication between user and web camera is via software package (AnyDesk).it has ability to check up and intercommunicate between nurse staff and patient. The system is flexible and efficient with fast response during emergency conditions. Also the system introduced a health monitoring system with BLYNK mobile application to fetch patient parameters from ESP32 WIFI module like spo₂, heart rate and body temperature which will really be helpful to doctors for reviewing real-time patient data. COVID-19 is forcing telemedicine to the forefront of national attention especially remote surveillance systems, a long-overdue exposure, but it comes during a complicated crisis. Providing care beyond the traditional face-to-face model, remote systems are critical components in the ever-changing environment of a spreading epidemic.
