An Intelligent Wearable Temperature Monitoring System for Epidemic Surveillance

Abstract

Wearable electronics devices become more popular used for human being's physiological parameter monitor. Continuous body temperature monitor will be wide used in families and hospitals, great significance for human health state monitoring especially for body temperature sensing diseases such as corona-virus epidemic currently. In this paper, we introduce a continuous temperature monitoring system with high precision, continuous and long-time measurement, remote temperature collection, and low power consumption, which can monitor and warn the population with abnormal temperature in the epidemic in time. The high precision of the thermometer is up to 0.01 degrees Celsius, and IP multiplexing in Wi-Fi is adopted for transmission to increase the network capacity, and a high efficient working-sleeping mode achieves the low power consumption to satisfy 14 days of epidemic sensitive period. It can not only monitor the suspicious population effectively, but also reduce the workload and infection risk of the epidemic monitoring greatly. The system is easy to be integrated with the existing hospital information system, the proposed solutions can be applied to the monitoring and early warning of epidemic surveillances with abnormal temperature.
