Smart access card system to mitigate the Covid-19 outbreak

Diagnosing and controlling the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 is crucial to managing epidemics. One common measure taken to reduce spreading is to detect infected individuals and trace their primary contacts so as to then selectively isolate any individuals likely to have been infected. The devices, called simply the 'Smart Access Card System', aim to provide contact tracing, diagnosing early symptoms, and helping to maintain social distancing. It can continuously collect the location and contacts of their owners by using sensor tag and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Proposed mobile gadget technology might be beneficial in any future diseases spread also. © 2021 IEEE.
