An IoT based Self Quarantine System with RFID Tracking

Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT)-based self quarantine system with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking is proposed to monitor the health conditions of the Covid 19 patients and track their real time location via mobile application. There are biomedical sensors used to measure health conditions such as temperature, pulse oximetry, and heart rate monitor sensors. In addition, the RFID readers are used to detect patients that intend to leave the quarantine area, and the GPS modules are used to track their actual geometrical location so that further action can be taken by the authorities. The real time data is automatically pushed to the cloud server for the authorities to remotely view the patient’s health condition and location on the Google map using smart devices. Finally, a hardware prototype and a mobile application have been successfully developed in this project to display all measured data on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, as well as on a smart phone
