KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A group of researchers at Universiti Malaya (UM) has developed the Covid Symptom Monitoring System (CoSMoS) to help medical staff monitor patients suspected of Covid-19 infection.
The university said the system has already been used at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre to monitor individuals suspected of having contracted Covid-19 and those in home quarantine, and is expected to also be of use in monitoring medical teams exposed to Covid-19 patients.
Through this system, it said, medical staff would have have to make calls to only 10 percent of patients in need of supervision, while the rest could be monitored through CoSMoS, thus allowing 80-90 percent of medical staff to perform other tasks such as contact tracing and screening. Dr Adeeba, who is also the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at UM, said that through the system, medical staff at UMMC would no longer have to make phone calls manually to patients.
