Infrared Temperature Detection Using MLX90614 Sensor for Wearable Applications

ABSTRACT

Body temperature is a significant vital sign that can provide great insight as to the state of health of a person. Nowadays, body temperatures are monitored as often as a precaution for the COVID-19 virus. This can be achieved with the use of wearables, which can be non-invasive and convenient for anybody to use. This study aims to design and construct a wearable that can accurately detect the body temperature of a person using the MLX90614 sensor as well as an I2C enabled LCD to allow the user to monitor their temperature at a moment's notice. © 2023 IEEE.
