Abstract
Background: The wireless technology is one of the devices used to monitor the symptoms of patients with COVID-19 during a home recovery phase. It enables patients to accurately assess their condition and plan appropriate initial self-care.
Objective: 1) To analyze the problems and develop an innovative wireless technology 2) To examine the effects of the wireless technology innovation on monitoring the symptoms of patients with COVID-19 during a home recovery phase.
Methods: This research and development study was conducted in two phases: 1) problem analysis and innovation development using the ADDIE Model, and 2) examining the effects of the wireless technology innovation through a quasi-experimental design with two groups of 50 participants each. Pre- and post-tests were conducted over 4 weeks. Research instruments included the wireless technology innovation to monitor COVID-19 symptoms and a self-care behavior assessment. Data were analyzed using content analysis, descriptive statistics, and t-tests.
Results: 1) Symptom monitoring was achieved through the use of innovative wireless technology to track patients’ symptoms by measuring vital sign and blood oxygen saturation. These data served as the basis for evaluating patients’ conditions, planning self-care, and providing recommendations. 2) After participating in the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly improved self-care behaviors compared to the pre-intervention group and the control group at a statistical significance level of 0.05. The development of wireless technology innovation for monitoring COVID-19 symptoms during the home recovery phase effectively enhanced self-care behaviors.
