Hardware and Free Software Based Access Control System for the Detection of Potential COVID-19 Infected

Abstract

The pandemic generated by the SARS-COVD-19 virus has affected humanity. Thus, at the global, regional and local levels, different measures have been adopted for its detection, containment and elimination. Consequently, different campaigns, strategies and solutions have been generated, based on different technological developments, ranging from the use of artificial intelligence to electronic components. Likewise, many technological solutions have been based on the early detection of symptoms generated by possible infection by COVID-19; therefore, they have responded by creating tools and platforms that allow users to have real-time information on their body temperature. Therefore, this work presents a full-scale functional prototype, based on free hardware and software platforms, which allows users to know their body temperature in real time, and allowed to determine that, although there are proprietary solutions in the market, it is possible to propose new technologies that with aspects of innovation allow low-income organizations to access low-cost emerging technologies that enhance their processes and services. Second, it was found that one of the most common effects for detecting possible COVID-19 infection is fever.
