Campus Epidemic-Prevention System

At the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak in late 2019 (COVID-19), the procedure of epidemic prevention for each student in most campuses in Taiwan included taking the temperature of the forehead and disinfecting hands by use of alcohol or hand sanitizer; there was an obvious need for many operators to help in the epidemic-prevention process. In our campus, a scan of the QR code is also required to register on the campus cloud system for a footprint record. Therefore, before class, many students are waiting in line, and each student needs to spend about 10 minutes for the entire process. Hence, we designed a new campus epidemic-prevention system against the threat of COVID-19. The system can automatically perform the forehead temperature measurement, hand sanitizing, and ID registration on each user. The manually operated issues, such as infection risk of operators, manpower requirement of epidemic-prevention stations, and the entire process times, can all be reduced.
