Abstract

Patient sensing and data analytics provide information that plays an important role in the patient care process. Patterns identified from data and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms can identify risk/abnormal patients’ data. Due to automatization this process can reduce workload of medical staff, as the algorithms alert for possible problems. We developed an integrated approach to monitor patients’ temperature applied to COVID-19 elderly patients and an ML process to identify abnormal behavior with alerts to physicians.
