Fighting on the frontlines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic, health workers are at high risk of virus infection and overwork-related
sudden death and disorders including cardiovascular diseases and stress. When we
noted the increase of overwork-related sudden deaths in physicians and nurses in
the first 2 weeks after lockdown of Wuhan, we organized the 'Touching Your Heart'
program by remote monitoring, aiming to protect health workers from
overwork-related disorders through integrated volunteer work by physicians and
medical engineering researchers from Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital, Nanjing Medical
University, and Tiangong University. By remotely monitoring the health conditions
of the medical aid team working at Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital, the program
successfully helped in avoiding severe overwork-related events. The results from
our program should be used to remind frontline health workers around the world to
take precautions against overworked-related severe events, and show that
precision monitoring is effective in improving work efficiency and maintaining a
sustainable workforce during emergency situations like a pandemic.
