Now we’re seeing one of the magnificent applications of IoT technology how smart devices can actually save lives by supporting the world fight against the Corona Virus outbreak.

Several tech companies have a long history of dedicating resources to curb the spread of diseases and enhance global health. Now In a current situation, a key focus for us is to track and curb the spread of the virus.

There are many key technologies that are being taken together to assist global tracking and prevention and it is all made possible with the help of IoT data that is being shared with organizations to give real-time data that can be rapidly acted on to support prevent the spread. It’s interesting to see technology utilized in this way and exciting to observe how the IoT will enable us to further enhance global health as it becomes more advanced.

Tracking the spread of this pandemic, however, is a challenge World Health Organization (WHO) and governments around the globe are now facing.

Hence hIoTron is come up with a smart thermometer that will transform raw temperature data into valuable data that will help to prevent the spread by detecting COVID-19 Symptoms at its early stage and record it with face recognition abilities.

How it actually Works

Thermo-phone, which is the smallest smart thermometer, provides a cloud-based constant remote system for temperature monitoring and enables users to get alerts when abnormal body temperature is recognized.

A compact smart thermometer can transfer temperature data through Bluetooth Low Energy to the mobile app and its cloud dashboard. You simply need to connect it with the mobile App then scan and record it. It enables one-to-many centralized tracking and helps with suitable medical treatment.

The Thermo-phone supports to control the spread of COVID-19 in two layouts — in healthcare industries and those in self-quarantine. In the circumstance of the healthcare sector, it enables health workers and medical professionals to minimize direct contact with patients. The system can assist health workers to analyze real-time temperatures of many patients at nursing stations.

It collects data wirelessly via its specialized BLE/Wi-Fi gateways which gather patients’ temperatures. It not only just recognizes body temperature but also detects whether a person is wearing a mask or not. In this way the cloud monitor system can save medical staffs’ time, minimize record errors; reduce the risk of infection.

For those under self-quarantine, Thermo-phone can support public health authorities to analyze the temperature of thousands of people under quarantine remotely and give alerts when users are recognized with abnormal temperatures and people with not wearing a face mask.

The smart thermometers connect to a mobile application through Bluetooth to provide general guidance on a user’s current temperature and whether or not they are revealing signs of fever or illness. This data is also gathered and combined into different datasets that can be segregated based on location.

A higher-than-required concentration of people with fevers is considered one of the foremost indicators of infection with the COVID-19 virus and the cooperation of a digital “smart” thermometer and a paired phone app is allowing the company to give real-time insights into issuing infection hot spots.
