Automatic Non-Contact Temperature Detection for Health Monitoring

Abstract

Abstract: COVID-19 has made a significant impact on temperature measurement of the human body for primary diagnosis of COVID. Non-contact temperature detection using MLX90614 sensor has been widely used in practice to avoid spread of diseases due to the contact. The thermal gun used to measure temperature is required to be operated by operating personnel. In this paper an automated non-contact temperature detection system is developed and tested. The paper also includes sending the temperature data with a timestamp. The kit developed for the measurement of temperature includes height adjustment mechanism and buzzer alert to indicate higher temperature and make surrounding people know about it. The project proposed in the paper has been developed as a kit with a stand and wheels for easy porting. The project is funded by NexGen IEDC.
