These reports will play an important role to keep a fast track management of social distancing.
Smart Wearable and Patches for Real-Time Temperature Measuring
Fever is one of the main symptoms of the coronavirus therefore; temperature measuring body patches and wearable help to detect people who carry risk. The wearable will give an alert about the rise in temperature and other changes in the body. Footfall sensors and thermal scanners in patches would also help organizations to gather information real-time information about coronavirus prospects. It will help in escorting them to the testing before it gets transmitted.
Contact-less Devices to Avoid Physical Contact
To avoid individual physical contact in the companies have incorporated smart and contactless check-in systems, coffee machines, electronic devices that can be processed by mobile devices. These can be operated with gestures and voice assistant to minimize the physical contact.
Self Driven Robots for Cleaning
Some enterprises have included self-driven robots to clean floors and sanitize space. These robots disinfect the surfaces with the help of high-intensity ultraviolet light. It will destroy the virus by tearing apart their DNA. Robots made of the internet of things will be connected to applications and can be controlled through them.
Regular Checkups and Screenings
With the increasing cases, software companies have shaken hands with health-tech firms to set up the chatbots on the websites and applications to interact with the employees. Through the chatbot questions, companies can analyse the severity of the case and take action accordingly.
IoT has proven as a blessing in this COVID times. Various IoT applications help companies to track and grow. Voice assistants created on IoT such as Google Assistant, Alexa, and Apple Siri are already helping to prevent exposure to the virus through physical contact. By using smart contactless IOT applications we can reduce the contagious cases of the coronavirus in the organization.
These IoT applications will help to fight this unprecedented situation. IoT tools and applications facilitate organizations to control the increasing number of corona cases and bring back the old normal ways to grow.
