India's health infrastructure is under pressure since the daily COVID-19 cases have crossed the milestone of 4 Lakhs cases per day which surpass the previous years' peak. Patients with mild symptoms have been advised for home treatment since most of the hospitals are running out of bed. In this situation delivering healthcare to people has become revolutionizing due to the rapid advancement of embedded systems, communication, and informatics technologies. Integration of different health sensors, handheld devices, and internet can be a great potential for significant improvement of the quality of remote healthcare. This paper discusses the use of MySignals HW shield which is a hardware development platform for medical devices to build e-health monitoring system. Wearable health monitoring system prototype has been developed in this work. To conduct experiments, health vitals such as body temperature, ECG, oxygen saturation level, and pulse rate from 5 volunteers have been measured, collected, and stored in a cloud database using the system prototype. To evaluate the performance of the prototype, transmission delay has been recorded in both wired (Ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) communication modes. It is observed that it takes 2.71 ms and 5.18 ms of time to collect and store the health vitals to the cloud database in wired and wireless mode respectively. Comparing the collected health vitals with the normal range of health vitals, no abnormality is found in all volunteer's health. Finally, a framework for contactless monitoring of COVID-affected patients is proposed. Contactless monitoring of health vitals can reduce the chance of community spread.
