A Prototype IoT based Technology for Body Temperature Monitoring

In general, body health can be seen from the condition of temperature which is a vital sign as an indication of the activity of the organs in the body. Through temperature, it will be able to detect whether the body's organs are working properly or not. It can be said that through temperature it can detect changes in the performance of body organs if the temperature is not at normal. Healthy human body temperature between 36.1 degrees Celsius to an increase of 37.2 degrees Celsius. One disease that affects the condition of body temperature is a virus. In general, the risk of infection or transmission of a virus can occur through direct contact with the sufferer. In this research, a device for measuring body temperature or a thermometer without direct contact was developed. The module used is a sensor and actuator where these two modules are controlled by a programmed microcontroller. The system being developed also uses the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). Where each of these tools can send data to a database without human intervention anymore so it is very practical to reduce direct contact between humans. The communication network used in this research is WiFi or what is called IEEE 802.11. The results of this research get an average value of 1.8% based on a comparison of sensor data with a temperature gauge. This research is expected to be useful for society to detect body temperature without direct contact between humans.
