Resp IoT is an IoT system for remote monitoring of vital signs in COVID patients. Project Winner at Engineering X Pandemic Preparedness.
In 2020, I think the primary concern of everyone was the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to this virus's high level of contagiousness, several people were infected and urged for medical attention. Along with this, people present respiratory issues as one of the earlier symptoms, which can be used to diagnose this virus. However, the hospitals in most countries but specifically in countries with mid and low resources collapsed, which means that several people cannot receive medic attention or monitor their health status. Given the situation, the project RespIoT is a proposal for monitoring system of vital health signs.
Specifically, RespIoT is an Internet of Things (IoT) solution that is compound by two parts hardware monitoring system and software infrastructure. The hardware monitoring system measures health parameters like respiratory, and heart rate and oxygen saturation. The software infrastructure consists of a Progressive Web Application (PWA) that serves as a display of measurements, and a serverless backend service to store the values and functions as a central communication between the web platform and the hardware.
