Abstract

Innovation: A full-fledged solution that monitors patient, who are under non-intensive care. A prototype will be designed of a device that can measure the patient's vital signs semi-automatically and for which production can be easily scaled and improved by using 3D printing. Patients' data is uploaded to a central server, then presented to medical staff in the form of a dashboard, where they can receive alerts and analysis. The system would enable the monitoring of many patients at the same time and ensure that deteriorating cases are dealt with immediately. Expected Results: The potential loom of a second wave of COVID-19 infections in the coming months coupled with the need of decongesting care institutions strongly point to the need of reliable and affordable remote monitoring systems. Furthermore, this activity would support the current trend of digitalisation in healthcare and wellbeing, allowing an affordable solution to monitor and easily collect data and analyses.
