A Headset Like Wearable Device to Track COVID-19 Symptoms

Abstract

A wearable system/device capable to track key COVID-19 symptoms is presented. Off-the-shelf hardware and software components as simple sensors, general purpose microcontroller, and gadget like mobile devices and peripheries are used to detect and monitor body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate and other vital signs, which are important to alert patients and remote medical staff about unusual symptoms correlated to COVID-19 or similar diseases. The basic idea about measuring principle, system integration, digital signal processing and networking is presented and accompanied with preliminary testing results. The principle is not just simple and low cost, based on the components we use every day, but very immune to noise and artifacts.
