IoT Applications for Coronavirus Industry Protection

Abstract

In this chapter, an overview of two IoT applications, smart badge and smart mask, are used to protect employees working in a crowded environment. The smart mask protects the wearer from inhaling very small microbes that are transmitted through the airways (such as influenza virus or coronavirus), filters the air, controls the presence of CO2, and measures the body temperature. The smart badge measures the wearer temperature. It is equipped with an SOS panic alarm for indoor and outdoor workers. By pressing the SOS button, the device communicates with pre-recorded IDs so that the victim can talk and alert the emergency services. Thanks to the GPS functionality, it is possible to precisely locate the user via a Google Map link.
