Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic transforms the healthcare delivery models and accelerates the implementation and the adoption of telemedicine solutions at all levels of the healthcare system. Telehealth services ensure the continuity of care and treatment of both inpatients and outpatients during this pandemic, while reducing the spread of the virus through hospitals. The aim of this paper is to present an intelligent remote monitoring system with innovative data analytics features for COVID-19 patients. The i-COVID platform provides remote COVID-19 patients monitoring. The presented solution is addressed to patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms, as well as it can be used for post intensive-care monitoring. The platform offers advanced analytic capabilities using Proactive AI, to detect health condition deterioration, and automatically trigger personalized support workflows. Remote monitoring of COVID-19 patients using bio-sensors, seems to be an effective tool against the COVID-19 pandemic, as reduces the number of visits to patient screening centres and hospital admissions.
