Potential to reduce hospital crowding and infection risk.
Abstract
In the midst of rising positive cases of COVID-19, the hospitals face a newfound difficulty to prioritize on their patients and accommodate them. Moreover, crowding of patients at hospitals pose a threat to the healthcare workers and other patients at the hospital. With that in mind, a non-contact method of measuring the necessary vitals such as heart rate, respiratory rate and SPO will prove highly beneficial for the hospitals to tackle this issue. This paper discusses our approach in achieving the non-contact measurement of vitals with the sole help of a webcam and further our design of an e-hospital platform for doctors and patients to attend appointments virtually. The platform also provides the doctor with an option to provide with voice-based prescriptions or digital prescriptions, to simplify the daily, exhausting routine of a doctor.
