App for hospitalized covid patients to communicate with healthcare workers

With so many COVID patients hospitalized and PPEs in short supply, hospitals need to minimize contact between medical staff and patients.

With Patchd, hospitalized COVID patients who are relatively healthy can take their own measurements and have them sent back to the nurses station, this saves a nurse having to gown up and waste a set of PPE when coming in to see the patient just to take vitals. Patchd also provides bluetooth enabled pulse oximeters and temperature sensors that pair with the Patchd app and can be sent home with a patient, to help them self quarantine and share aggregate vital sign information remotely with a clinician (through a web app).

PatchD significantly reduces both patient contact and the amount of PPE that is used, and this is a solution that can scale infinitely since it is software only and requires no new equipment.
