title = "Improvement of hospital airborne infectious isolation rooms using iot technology",
abstract = "IoT technology can be used to improve the overall management of hospital infrastructure. This paper presents a case study whereby IoT technology is used to monitor and manage a cluster of AIIRs (Airborne Infectious Isolation Rooms) in a live environment. The remote management of alarms and room functionality reduces the unnecessary exposure of healthcare workers and provides an improved response time compared to a human resource. The results of real-time live testing during the COVID-19 Pandemic are discussed in this paper. We were able to reduce the exposure of human resources during the pandemic by providing remote monitoring and control of healthcare infrastructure.",
