The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become the most serious global health issue. Isolation policy in hospitals is one of the most crucial protocols to prevent nosocomial infection of COVID-19. It is important to monitor and assess the physical conditions of the patients in isolation.
Our institution has installed the novel non-contact wireless sensor for vital sign sensing and body movement monitoring for patients in COVID-19 isolation ward.
We have collected and compared data between the radar record with the nurse's handover record of two patients, one recorded for 13 days and the other recorded for 5 days. The P value by Fisher's exact test were 0.139 (temperature, P > 0.05) and 0.292 (heart beat rate, P > 0.05) respectively.
This is the first report about the application experience of this equipment. Therefore we attempted to share the experience and try to apply this equipment in COVID-19 patients in future to offer the more reliable and safe policy.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的爆发已成为最严重的全球健康问题。医院的隔离政策是预防COVID-19医院感染的最关键措施之一。监测和评估隔离患者的身体状况很重要。
我们机构在COVID-19隔离病房安装了新型非接触式无线传感器，用于生命体征传感和身体运动监测。
我们收集并比较了两名患者的雷达记录与护士交班记录之间的数据，一名记录了13天，另一名记录了5天。Fisher精确检验的P值分别为0.139（体温，P>0.05）和0.292（心率，P>0.05）。
这是关于该设备应用经验的首次报告。因此，我们试图分享经验，并尝试在未来将该设备应用于COVID-19患者，以提供更可靠和安全的政策。
