Development of a Remote Visitor’s Health Assessment and Documentary Model for Coronavirus Applications

Abstract

The conceptual model for the remote assessment of visitor’s coronavirus infectious status is the focus of this paper. The sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus disease presented serious health challenges globally and the fastest means of detecting the affected persons lies largely on the handheld thermometer device. This instrument detects the temperature within certain range for the virus symptoms diagnosis. The handheld thermometer design is in a short gun format and requires human effort with utmost proximity, which may suggest transfer of the virus to the gun operators as its needs human input before it operates optimally. However, this model considers an intelligent and contactless way of detecting visitors’ virus status before allowing access to prevent cross-virus transmission to others. This intelligent device is embedded into the entrance area for remote and automated virus scan. The resultant effect will lead to the development of a visitor’s health status assessment scheme embedded into the remote entrance system; an android application for remote monitoring of the entrance and exit of the commuters; database and referrer options scheme via the regulatory agencies. The result for each visitor virus status is wirelessly transmitted and accessed through a mobile application and are documented on the cloud for the disease control agencies. This model is developed for areas such as banks, hospitals and homes. For research advancement, the design should be implemented with incorporated cameras for real time image processing of the visitors/commuters.
