Contactless Body Temperature Monitoring of In-Patient Department (IPD) Using 2.4 GHz Microwave Frequency via the Internet of Things (IoT) Network
Abstract Since the COVID-19 situation keeps going on started from 2019. Many solutions are to against the spreading of coronavirus disease. In this work, the contactless body temperature monitoring (CBTM) of the in-patient department (IPD) is applied using a 2.4 GHz microwave band via the Internet of Things (IoT) network. The specified infrared body temperature on the MLX90614 DCI used for the medical field was selected to embed the IoT-CBTM for IPD using the IoT platform because the MLX90614 is an accurate sensor that matches to use for medical promotion. In this study, the proposed embedded IoT-CBTM has tested the accuracy compared with the manual body temperature checking device under the Thai Industrial Standard Institute (TISI). The results found that the proposed wireless IoT-CBTM prototype achieved a reliability value of 48.7 %, nearly to the expected value, with positive correlations between devices at .322*. The information data will be transferred to store at cloud internet according to the time set every hour. The intelligent applications used for receiving data are Google Sheet and line application on smart devices.
