COVID-19 Infected Patients Tracking System using Maduino

Abstract

Tracking is a series of steps taken to monitor the location of objects under observation. Tracking is very essential in epidemiology because if an infectious disease is not monitored there is likelihood that such disease may lead to massive loss of lives. When a diseased person suffering from covid-19, monkey pox, corona virus, Ebola and likes escapes from quarantine custody the people are at risk of infection hence the need for a well-organized system of mitigating against such. In this paper, we have developed a reliable tracking system for monitoring and tracking the location of COVID-19 patient for the purpose of making sure that such escapees do not spread the disease to the public. This system uses MADUINO chip embedded on the corona virus patients to track his where-about in order to control the spread of the disease. The Maduino chip is driven by software that reports to the system the location of such patients in real-time. The location of such patients is recorded in a database from which government disease control agencies can access and use for effective disease management. It is hoped that if adopted, this system will contribute to the effective monitoring and management of infectious diseases.
