Currently, the entire planet is terrified of a virus known as COVID-19 (coronavirus). Its effects are so deadly that the whole world has been placed on lockdown. Vaccines for this virus are being developed by scientists and physicians all over the world. Machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence all play a role in detecting people who have been affected by coronavirus.

We have also operated in this direction and developed a system called “Health Detection System for COVID-19 Patients using IoT” which can identify coronavirus-infected people and create a database for easy monitoring. Our system named as “Health Detection System for COVID-19 Patients using IoT” can detect corona by measuring the temperature and oxygen level of the patient. The system will detect the temperature of person with the help of DHT sensor and the oxygen level with the help of MAX30100, which are interfaced with NodeMCU. Data will be uploaded on ThingSpeak server (cloud) through which it can be monitored.

The system is quite simple and very effective, especially at the hospital (ICU) where doctors can monitor patient from a distant place. Complete system cost around Rs 1,000/- (Rupees One Thousand Only).
