IoT Telemonitoring System for COVID-19 Quarantine

Abstract

The global COVID-19 outbreak has been spreading to 235 countries around the world. The quarantine can prevent the spread of disease. In this research, we developed and proposed an IoT telemonitoring system for quarantine employing IoT and mobile technologies. The system allows medical staff to monitor body temperature and track the location of every single quarantine person remotely by using a mobile device. When the body temperature is greater than the threshold (38.0 °C), the system sends an alert to the medical staff via the mobile application. They can take the quarantined person to test for COVID-19. The average error of the system was less than 1%. The evaluation results reveal that the users were satisfied with the system.
