ABSTRACT
In the Philippines, contact-tracing is done in the conventional method where people fill-up health-declaration forms. Proper physical distancing is not followed, especially in public places. This study is focused on concerns involving the conventional contact tracing and physical distancing in Pamantasan ng Cabuyao. Developed using modified incremental-prototyping methodology. The objective is to develop module device with ranging position, triggered when one-meter distance is compromised and physical distancing notification. Included a web-based application interface for contact-tracing where the administrator can update the status and registration of the users. Utilized block-chain technology as storage for the users' information. The device is developmentally-designed, implemented and evaluated. Based on the series of testing, the device provides notification through blinking light, and set-off to exchange identifications. Users' information is secured through the Block-chain. When a user is reported to be COVID-19 positive, all the users who have been in contact, will be alerted via text message. © 2021 IEEE.
