IoT-based smart triage of Covid-19 suspicious cases in the Emergency Department

According to scientific reports, the main and most common Covid-19 symptoms are fever and shortness of breath. Therefore, monitoring of vitals such as temperature, breathing and heart rate and blood oxygen saturation is of essence. Our team has designed and developed a wrist-worn wearable device that continuously monitors relevant vital signs with the aim to prioritize and triage Covid-19 patients in the Emergency Department.
