The world is currently facing a significant pandemic that is known as the
COVID-19 disease. The virus is known to spread quickly especially through droplets
especially from coughing and sneezing from an infected person. It is undeniable that
the COVID-19 pandemic has fully taken over the world with its infection rate that
increases tremendously after it is first discovered in a market in Wuhan, China.
Critical patients are required to stay at medical facilities for observation while those
who are in close contact are encouraged to have their own self-quarantine at their
own place. With increased number of infected patients, some of them needed to
quarantine at home to prevent collapse of the global health care system. Many
countries have advocated for infected patients with mild symptoms to stay home and
self-quarantine (Xu, Huang, Qiu, Liu, Deng, Jiao, Tan, Ai, Xiao, Belliato, Yan, 2020).
This paper focuses on the study of a solution for the patients. This case is known as
the asymptomatic type, where the patients are required to have their quarantine at
home after being tested for COVID-19 infection. Specifically, this system will
contribute a lot to those people as nowadays, hospitals are at limit with their capacity
to hold the infected COVID-19 patients, therefore those who are not in the critical
phase are encouraged to have their own self-quarantine at home or any place for at
least 14 days. This system acts as a communication platform between patients and
doctors while the doctors can monitor the condition of the patients. This can help
them to flatten the COVID-19 infection curve without having to deal anymore risk of a
more critical case.
