“…A tele-rehabilitation strategy should vary depending on a patient's cognitive and functional status. For instance, different respiratory physiotherapy plans are recommended to patients with spontaneous breathing, with invasive mechanical ventilation for those in an acute phases [200]. Tele-rehabilitation should also be performed following the 4s principle, i.e., simple, safe, satisfy, save, in particular to prevent the spread of virus through droplets [201].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic with serious clinical manifestations including death.A pandemic at the large-scale like COVID-19 places extraordinary demands on the world's health systems, dramatically devastates vulnerable populations, and critically threatens the global communities in an unprecedented way. While tremendous efforts at the frontline are placed on detecting the virus, providing treatments and developing vaccines, it is also critically important to examine the technologies and systems for tackling disease emergence, arresting its spread and especially the strategy for diseases prevention. The objective of this article is to review enabling technologies and systems with various application scenarios for handling the COVID-19 crisis. The article will focus specifically on 1) wearable devices suitable for monitoring the populations at risk and those in quarantine, both for evaluating the health status of caregivers and management personnel, and for facilitating triage processes for admission to hospitals; 2) unobtrusive sensing systems for detecting the disease and for monitoring patients with relatively mild symptoms whose clinical situation could suddenly worsen in improvised hospitals; and 3) telehealth technologies for the remote monitoring and diagnosis of COVID-19 and related diseases. Finally, further challenges and opportunities for future directions of development are highlighted.

“…For these patients, oxygen therapy should be performed to maintain SPO 2 > 94 and is better to be performed through a nasal cannula or oxygen mask (18,19). One study; however, noted that oxygen therapy through the nasal route may further spread airborne contaminated droplets (20). The prevalence of acute respiratory syndrome has been reported as high as 17% among the patients (21).…”

Background: Covid-19 is a novel disease with many unknown clinical and managemental dimensions. To effectively diagnose, control, and treat the disease, it is required to divulge its clinical symptoms and their qualities. On the other hand, no one can better interpret the clinical symptoms than the caregivers infected by the disease. So, the aim of this study was to exploring the experiences of infected health-care providers about clinical manifestations of Covid-19 disease.Methods: The present qualitative research was conducted using the conventional content analysis method in Iran from March to Jun 2020. Participants in this study included infected health care providers with Covid-19, who were selected based on purposeful sampling method. The data was collected by 18 phone call interviews and analyzed according Lundman and Graneheim approach.Results: Qualitative data analysis revealed 10 categories including respiratory disorders, fever and chills, body pain, fatigue, headache, skin disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, taste and olfactory disturbances, insomnia and also stress and anxiety.Conclusion: Patients with Covid-19 may experience specific or non-specific disorders. It is necessary to consider people with non-specific manifestations as suspicious cases and screen them with proper diagnostic tests. This can help to identify true positive patients and provide them with more effective health cares, and prevent further spread of the disease by isolating suspected individuals.Trial registration number: Not applicable

“…Healthcare workers must pay attention to the high-risk interventions that may expose them to contamination due to the dispersion of droplets when attending patients with COVID-19. Several respiratory techniques are used in acute patients, such as aerosol nebulization, mucous clearance, NIV, bronchoscopy, tracheal intubation, manual ventilation before intubation, tracheotomy, endotracheal aspiration, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and extubation [4].…”
