Malaysian Multiphasic Health Screening Caravan (MyMHSCar) - An Automatic Device for Health Screening and Attendance System

Abstract

While the definition of post COVID-19 continues to be debatable, it is almost certain that Malaysian and the world population will need to adopt the “new norm” in our daily life. This project proposes a 15-second health screening portable device, namely the Malaysian Multiphasic Health Screening Caravan (MyMHSCar), that can send health information to mobile devices through email application. The MyMHSCar consists of a microcontroller, camera, fingerprint sensor, body temperature, heartrate and oxygenated/de-oxygenated haemoglobin measurement devices which can provide accurate and objective information on body temperature, heartrate and blood oxygen level. The face and thumbprint recognition features in the program ensure that the identity of user is verified, resulting in accurate reporting and color code generation by mobile applications, such as MySejahtera. The accuracy of measurement data and the algorithm for data transfer to mobile devices were fully validated. MyMHSCar, which can be placed at home, residential area, office buildings, hypermarkets and other places, enables user to carry out health screening test within 15 seconds. It can also be customized to act as an employee attendance system with accurate health information. MyMHSCar will prevent biased answers provided by users and produce more reliable results for decision making.
