Design and Implementation of a Monitoring System for COVID-19-Free Working Environment

ABSTRACT

The proposed work aims to design a monitoring system that ensures COVID-free safety working environment. The proposed system has two phases. The first phase is used to monitor the vital parameters of the person entering the workplace relevant to COVID-19 test. The second phase monitors the indoor safety measures to create COVID-19-free working space. It is an inexpensive solution that aims increased COVID-19 indoor safety, with certain aspects covered like contactless sensing of temperature, heartrate monitoring, detection of mask, social distancing check, monitoring air quality, temperature, and humidity of the room. Contactless temperature sensing and pulse checking are carried out using IR sensor and heartrate sensor interfaced with Arduino Uno. The detection of mask and proper social distancing check is done by using Open CV techniques with Raspberry Pi which is equipped with a camera. The monitoring system ensures COVID-19-free safe working environment to the society. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
