Title
An Alternative Body Temperature Measurement Solution: Combination of a Highly Accurate Monitoring System and a Visualized Public Health Cloud Platform
Abstract
To quickly isolate suspected cases to control the epidemics, this study proposes a body temperature monitoring system with a thermography based on the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. The collected data are transmitted to a back-end platform via wireless communication. Using the analyzed data, the platform provides services, such as instant alerts for any anomalies, infectious disease outbreak prediction, and risk level assessment for a given area, and it will be a great help to epidemic prevention. The mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error of the proposed monitoring system under an extensive series of experiments are 0.04% and 0.0204°C, respectively. It shows that the body temperature measured by the thermal imaging sensor in the system can accurately represent the actual body temperature after specific calibrations that take the environmental temperature into account. It can also be expanded to a decision supporting system to help schools or government agencies to make proper decisions to stop the spread of infectious diseases.
