This idea came to me when I was thinking about an effective way to scan people whenever they are entering a public place.
How Does the Project WorkIt works as whenever the device senses a person passing under the doorway it scans his/her temperature and if the temperature is more than 38 degree celsius the device rings a buzzer to inform the nearby people of a COVID-19 suspect and it also clicks a picture of the suspect so that the authorised people can check the image and look for the suspect.
How was this project madeIt is basically a simple setup of an arduino nano, a ds18b20 sensor and a mobile phone placed inside a box with the ds18b20 sensor sticking downwards out of the box and the mobile phone placed at an angle to click a picture of the suspect.
Applications of this DeviceIt can be used to detect COVID-19 positive people by sensing their temperature in the following places:-
- Railway stations
- School entrances
- Shop entrances
- Park entrances
- Airports
- Malls
- Subway entrances
- Metro trains
- Bus Stands
A study shows that 91% of the total COVID-19 patients showed the symptom of fever in the first two days, so detecting fever is curruntly the most reliable way of detecting COVID-19.DEMONSTRATION
