Abstract

This research will present the utility of using the Real-Time Monitoring of indoor healthcare tracking utilizing the Internet of Things-Based I-Beacon. According to the fast and widespread COVID-19 contagion globally, the demand for ventilators and PPE materials is very h h to provide safety equipment to healthcare professionals and doctors. The existing Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) it’s not designed to COVID-19 and social distance. With the limitations of the current navigation systems such as Global Positioning System (GPS ) in indoor settings (Hospital, Quarantine, etc.), alternative PAPR tracking methods need to developing for such environments. This project aims to design a system that uses Bluetooth for PAPR tracking. Bluetooth Low Energy modules (BLE) serve as beacons, and the hospital will have information about their position. They will continuously advertise this information about the passing doctors. When the PAPR, which is attached to a Bluetooth module, passes by a beacon on the hospital corridors, it will receive the position data and send it directly to the ESP32 circuit. In turn, the ESP32 device will send the data to be the control room. So will add IoT technology in the respirator to guarantee physical distance, healthcare sta tracking, and recording.
