COVID Daily HealthChecker

This repository contains the Arduino source code for the Daily HealthChecker.

Fever is a key indicator of a COVID-19 infection. People often are asymptomatic through the initial period and it’s critical to effectively measure body temperature for signs of mild fever. The COVID Daily HealthChecker is a tool that allows for a controlled measurement of body temperature which can be validated by health professionals to rule out false positives.

Required Hardware

  • Arduino Mega 2560
  • Arduino Ethernet Shield to communicate with APIs and store measurements on a local SD card
  • Sunfounder Humiture Sensor (with DHT11 sensor) for accurate measurement of room humidity and body temperature
  • Sunfounder Touch Switch to allow the temperature sensing mode to be turned in a controlled, repeatable process
  • Sainsmart LCD (I2C LCD1602)
  • A router to provide network connection to the internet. In my case, I used my phone as an internet hotspot.
