Smart devices play an important role in today's society, from TVs, to vacuum cleaners, people are starting to automate more and more their daily activities. Given that the pandemic context has forced humanity not to limit itself to existing conditions, but to find new solutions in order to get over it, a special attention has been paid to the medical area. In this context, it was observed that most of the time the medical staff was overwhelmed by the large masses of patients from the ICU wards who required more attention and constant complex care. Through this paper we aim to identify the current needs of the medical sector and, based on our analysis we will propose a possible solution to reduce the overload of ICU departments. At the same time, we will focus on the impact of the pandemic on communication and interpersonal relationships, analysing the case of patients unable to connect with their families. Finally, the focus will be on the possible implementation of a solution that meets all quality standards and norms in order to be used in hospitals and to help medical staff, patients and families.
