IoMT: Rinku’s Clinical Kit Applied to Collect Information Related to COVID-19 through Medical Sensors
Abstract
COVID-19 healthcare professionals recommend the general population to stay home and contact the authorities, e.g. via SMS messages, if they show symptoms like cough, body pain, fever, and breathing difficulties. This approach considers the patient's assesment, however it is not supported by physiological data and medical personnel does not have a remote mechanism to validate such symptoms.
This paper proposes a system, called Rinku, to address this scenario. Rinku integrates an electronic system (ClinicalKit) comprising biomedical sensors for body temperature, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation, as well as a digital platform for storing and displaying the collected data.
Rinku aims to provide health professionals with relevant information to remotely validate COVID-19 symptoms. It can handle simultaneous information from multiple patients and provide valuable data related to the severity of the reported symptoms, which in turn could help healthcare professionals to make decisions, and optimize their clinical resources.
In this paper, many aspects of Rinku were tested: functionality of the Clinical Kit, communication between the IoT architecture and the cloud, and the monitoring of physiological parameters. The results showed that the enclosure design is convenient, IoT architecture is functional and the tracking of temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels from subjects are promising. We consider that Rinku has the potential to provide an accurate forecast regarding the demand for clinical resources and help proffesionals take prompt actions related to this pandemic.
