Enhancing Healthcare through Detection and Prevention of COVID-19 Using Internet of Things and Mobile Application

The main symptoms of COVID-19 are high temperature, throat infection, and irregular heartbeat. An integrated wearable device has been presented in this paper for the measurement of temperature and heartbeat in real time using different sensors and NodeMCU ESP8266. For temperature, the DHT11 sensor i...
