The aim is to diagnose COVID-19 earlier and to improve its treatment by applying medical technology, the “COVID-19 Intelligent Diagnosis and Treatment Assistant Program (nCapp)” based on the Internet of Things. Terminal eight functions can be implemented in real-time online communication with the “cloud” through the page selection key. According to existing data, questionnaires, and check results, the diagnosis is automatically generated as confirmed, suspected, or suspicious of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection. It classifies patients into mild, moderate, severe or critical pneumonia. nCapp can also establish an online COVID-19 real-time update database, and it updates the model of diagnosis in real time based on the latest real-world case data to improve diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, nCapp can guide treatment. Front-line physicians, experts, and managers are linked to perform consultation and prevention. nCapp also contributes to the long-term follow-up of patients with COVID-19. The ultimate goal is to enable different levels of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment among different doctors from different hospitals to upgrade to the national and international through the intelligent assistance of the nCapp system. In this way, we can block disease transmission, avoid physician infection, and epidemic prevention and control as soon as possible.

The development of Chinese experts consensus of the Internet of Things-aided diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 is to ultimately improve the clinical management of COVID-19 by applying medical technology the“COVID-19 intelligent diagnosis and treatment program”(nCapp) based on the Internet of Things.nCapp can assist：(1)To assist diagnosis intelligently：according to registered data，the diagnosis is automatically generated as confirmed，suspected or suspicious of 2019-nCoV(i.e.，SARS-CoV- 2)infection；It also sorts patients as light without pneumonia，mild，severe or critical pneumonia.nCapp can also establish an online COVID-19 real-time update database，and updates the model of intelligent diagnosis in real time based on the latest real-world case data to improve diagnostic accuracy.(2)To guide treatment intelligently：according to the guidelines and consensus for COVID-19，management option will be alerted based on patient information.Front-line physicians，experts and managers are linked to perform consultation and prevention strategy.nCapp also contributes to realize the long-term follow-up of patients with COVID- 19. In order to ensure the quality control，users are required to open ports to the three-level linked cloud platform and the national authorized manager. In addition to common training，quality control of diagnosis and treatment is required in clinical applications in accordance with international and national standards. Additionally，it is necessary to ensure authenticity and reliability of data uploaded to the cloud.The ultimate goal is to enable different levels of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment in different doctors from different hospital to upgrade to the national and even international standard through the intelligent assistance of the nCapp system，which contributes to eliminate the transmission，avoid physician infection，and reverse the situation of epidemic prevention and control as soon as possible.
