Abstract

The purpose of the project is to provide hospital staff with real-time insights into the development of blood glucose levels in COVID-19 patients and isolated diabetes patients through wireless glucose meters transmitting continual readings. Normally, hospitalized patients have their glucose level measured five times a day using traditional point-of-care equipment. Remote glucose monitoring of patients will reduce the need for protective equipment and save staff resources, and it enables fast intervention if the glucose level is either too high or too low.
