PROSPECTS OF FACE SHIELD WITH WIRELESS MONITORING OF TEMPERATURE AND RESPIRATION FOR FRONT LINE HEALTH WORKERS & COVID-19 PATIENTS

Abstract

The virus (COVID-19) originated from Wuhan has infected millions of peoples from all over the world. It spreads through contact contamination and respiratory droplets. The death rate in this pandemic is increasing day by day. The requirement to use the personal protective equipment (PPE) has increased worldwide especially for medical services. Due to this pandemic, the screening of common vital symptoms has become important for any emergency conditions. To form a smart Face

Shield that aims to provide more protection than a mask to humans against contagious viruses especially Covid-19, the suggested design refers to the attachment of Temperature and Pulse Oximeter sensors at face shield to monitor the disease with the continuous display of parameters on a mobile application. From statistics of Literature Review it is found evident that from last decade the use of face shields for protection from COVID-19 has increased but according to studies more improvement in this setup is required for better protection that shall minimize the Burdon from hospitals Our suggested design of shield will be an innovation in the field of medical and electronics because it provides facial protection from viruses along with that monitor vital signs of Temperature and Oxygen Saturation and reduces hospital visits for follow ups. It will serve society with an improved quality of PPE.
