A Novel Smart Hospital for Isolation of COVID-19 Patients AbstractIn this paper we describe a smart and innovative system which provides prime contribution to our society in this pandemic situation. We propose a novel smart hospital with multi featured equipments along with fashionable isolation ward for COVID-19 patients. A website interface has been proposed under anyone can visit and after knowing the status of the beds either for the isolation or emergency ward they can easily book from remote location. A QR code with registration number will be provided to the users. These users may reach to the hospital and have to pass through the QR code scanner for verification and sanitization process. A pre- evaluation section has been defined where proper mask at face will be detected with thermal scanner facility. All the designed section is controlled and monitor by control unit through server. Well featured with multiple sensors a unique ward is designed where oxygen level sensor is used to sense the level of oxygen and if the level of oxygen of patient is less than defined value supply of oxygen will switch on the supply automatically. Doctor will monitor and take care of patients through CCTV and video conferencing. The entire sub design unit is controlled and monitored via hybrid network and IoT.

The virus when infected in the lungs leads to major problems comprising of mild to severe symptoms. People who have fundamental clinical issues like cardiovascular sickness, diabetes, constant respiratory illness, and disease can get infected easily and it could even lead to their death [1]. The disease is causing death to many people all over the world. The second wave of COVID-19 comes with many symptoms, hence confusing people to interpret whether they are suffering from the disease or not. There have been many types of research leading to a solution for the disease. Still, we are facing a shortage of doctors, beds, and hospitals. The chances of getting infected while treatment of the patients are very high, it will affect the ward boys, nurses, and doctors. Many systems focusing on the day-to-day analysis of hospitals functioning are available in the market which gives information about the functioning of hospitals and also keeps a track of it [2]. These frameworks should be refreshed to be more smoothed out, diminish copy tests or methodology and mechanize the manual interaction [3]. Many works have been done so far making the hospitals self-sufficient and helping both the patients and the hospital administration using hybrid cloud, internet of things, machine learning, and artificial intelligence [4]. Using hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence the management part of the hospital can be automatized entirely [5]. On applying machine learning we can also enable the system to detect cleaning and filtration of data collected automatically [6]. Due to advancements in technology doctors are seen with iPads containing the information of patients [7]. The creation of a huge database may prove useful to the patients in several ways [8]. Abound together client personality confirmation stage, a brought together server farm, brought together cloud administrations, and bound together insight is found in a smart hospital [9]. Without the assistance of a hybrid cloud framework, it is difficult to extend admittance to medical services in a moderate way [10]. Integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and IoT is multi- dimensional data assembling, handling, and showplace for the medical clinic [11-12]. Research has been done on frameworks that can perform continuous observing furthermore, the early admonition of patient exercises in the ward, which mirrors the situational attention to smart hospitals [13-14]. Few authors had proposed an image processing based system for proper mask positing [15]. Generation of QR codes for each people can also prove to be useful in determining the symptoms along with thermal scanning [16]. Proper masking is also very essential to break the chain of corona virus. Around 80% of people suffering from -19 have mild symptoms [17]. However, these are the main carrier of the virus leading to infections. People having mild symptoms don’t need special treatment and can fully recover when isolated and treated with care. The best way to break the chain of the spread of the virus is by isolating the people having mild symptoms [18]. In this paper, we are proposing a smart hospital equipped with smart isolation wards and capable of self-oxygen level monitoring along with automatic switching on the oxygen supply when needed. The process will start from an easy hassle-free registration process through a mobile application or by the website and continues at the entrance. Availability of the beds and automatic sanitization system, thermal scanning zone with a smart mask positioning system is presented. The bed will contain an alarm which the patient can press in case of any emergency and a Wi-Fi-enabled screen for routine video consultation and entertainment of the patient. The automatic system will also prevent wastage of oxygen as well as the patient will not be needed to monitored regularly by the visit in person. Using the technology the doctors can keep a track of their condition from a distance. The patient will be monitored at a regular interval of two hours and the patient’s information will be updated to the doctor’s office with the use of hybrid cloud and IoT. We had also connected a heartbeat sensor and a thermal sensor in the isolation ward. All the data will be updated regularly on the official website of the isolation Ankur Utsav 1 , Amit Abhishek 2 , Ratna Priya 3 , Ashiya Zabeen 4 1,2,3 Department of Electronics and Communication, 4 Department of Computer Science 1,2,4 Birla Institute of Technology, Patna Campus, India, 3 Government Engineering College, Vaishali, India 1 ankur.utsav007@gmail.com 2 abhi.amit814@gmail.com 3 mail2ratnapriya@gmail.com 4 zabeenashiya@gmail.com IEEE - 51525 12th ICCCNT 2021 July 6-8, 2021 - IIT - Kharagpur Kharagpur, India 2021 12th International Conference on Computing Communication and Networking Technologies (ICCCNT) | 978-1-7281-8595-8/21/$31.00 ©2021 IEEE | DOI: 10.1109/ICCCNT51525.2021.9579528 © IEEE 2021.
