Covid19-Fast-Check: Uma abordagem Internet das Coisas Aplicada à Saúde para pré-triagem hospitalar do coronavírus
Abstract
After 2019, a new coronavirus (CoVs), an enveloped virus of the Coronaviridae family, overwhelmed the hospital system worldwide. To avoid contact between covid and non-covid patients, hospitals usually apply screening exams to classify the patients (Manchester protocol), which increases the risk of contamination of patients and professionals. This article presents a low-cost pre-screening examination called Covid-Fast-Check (CFC), based on Internet of Things (IoT) Healthcare. CFC collects the body temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygenation. Furthermore, CFC allows patients to respond to their respiratory symptoms contactless, based on hand movements. CFC has been used as the primary screening examination for 26 days in a Hospital at Colatina/ES. CFC pre-screened 1292 patients, of which 128 were targeted towards the ’suspect of covid’ area. Laboratory tests confirmed 40 patients with Covid-19. We show that IoTHealth, through CFC, prevented the exposure of 90.09% of asymptomatic patients to the virus and achieved 21.34% of accuracy in covid cases.
