Remote body temperature sensing in form of IoT is a possible application area.

Hello Nidhi Upadhyay ,

I would also say self-driving cars which involves communication between mobile vehicles and learning from environments. LiDAR systems which are mounted on the cars will communicate with each other and self-navigate on the roads without the need of human intervention. You can check out this paper on driverless cars which is based on LEDDAR.

RFID is also a sub-area of IoT which involves identifying labeled objects. Objects either inductively transmit their codes to the RFID reader or backscatter the IDs to the authorized readers to keep track of many things. This could range from assets and logistics in warehouses, keeping track of humans, monitoring healthcare patients inside hospitals, and much more. They don't have a fixed size. The sizes vary depending on the nature of application you're targeting. You can check out this paper for RFID applications/use cases.

IoT sensors can also be used to monitor temperature, pressure and many other parameters in various sites such as factories and other manufacturing industries.

Projects such as monitoring the humidity of any geographical place is an area where IoT becomes inevitable.

If you want to track the behavior of a thing, then Internet of Things can do that for you. In wikipedia, you will see that the researchers at Bristol University used RFID chips to analyze the behavior of ants for further studies. I cannot stress the ubiquity of IoT devices enough as they are prove to be very useful in many applications and many more applications that are yet to come in the future. Hope this clarifies. All the best.

great effort.

you can extend your work to monitor their health along with their location. as you said you have implemented tracking application, but you have to think about security.

discussion is too long. if you are interested, please reach me via whatsapp at +918200713617

I am keeping my answer simple and short because others may get disturbed by answering long things.

hope it helps. keep your focus on security and feel free to reach me, I will wait and happy to help you.

Hi

Please check the following work. I believe it will help you.

@Md Sazal Great read.

Nidhi Upadhyay , it looks like the wearable IoT band can detect the absconding covid-19 patients. I do have a question, if you don't mind. Suppose an elderly person (say 75-80 years old) is used to wearing this band but doesn't feel comfortable wearing it due to many reasons and hence removes it. Can the IoT device still sense the absconding person? I suppose that the person has already absconded. My actual question is, if a person doesn't feel comfortable wearing the device because it causes physical inconvenience, how can it help in detection? What if the IoT device sounds an alarm but the person is deaf too? What if he/she is deaf and blind? So, there is no hearing and seeing. How do you overcome this problem in your work?

Thank you.

@ Krunalkumar Thanks a lot. Your answer had already provided so much future direction.

K. Suresh If someone doesn't feel comfortable wearing it due to multiple reasons, the authority can allow the user now to wear it. The device is just a part of the whole system. The application can work on its own.

If you go through the paper, you will get to know about the use cases we have considered. The system is not the ultimate solution, but a direction which other research can follow.

Authority in the sense, guardian?

Authority, as in medical authority. Or any other public compliance authority.

see whatever Nidhi Upadhyay and K. Suresh is discussing is totally included in my answer. Nidhi Upadhyay has to think about this and various security issues that is already there in the IoT. and most importantly, no body can predict the human behavior perfectly, hence you have to take the help of artificial intelligence.

"Artificial Intelligence can never beat human stupidity"

this single line can answer so many draw back of your research. and whatever you found is not new. this things are already available in the world.

Think differently...

wearable devices can be tempered and can be hacked... most importantly, it can be removed from body... so, think about concrete solution.

That's why I provided you my contact number, may be I could help.

but anyway, I appreciate your efforts. still it needs so many improvements.

one of my research can easily destroy your wearable device and IoT with in few seconds. Take a look on it, it's available in my profile along with answer.

have a good day.

Just a clarification needed Krunalkumar Shah . What are the limitations of your algorithm or in your research? If there is a smart transceiver (let's say artificially intelligent) which has sufficient knowledge to distinguish authorized readers from unauthorized, then how does the algorithm work even if the IoT devices are vulnerable? Can it still manage to intrude IoT devices which are present in metallic environments (where communication is rather difficult than normal conditions)? How about in liquids and other high intensity radiation areas? There are certain areas which are highly restricted where the IC-based devices work poorly or not at all. How do you overcome this barrier in your research? What if covid-19 patients are present in such areas (just an example case)? It would also be nice if you can show a practical demo that any IoT device (let's keep a highly secure one) can be damaged within let's say 10 seconds. It will be very useful for other researchers to learn and understand the importance of why this algorithm.

Thank you

Krunalkumar Shah : Please go ahead with your research. And try to destroy our wearable device and IoT within few seconds. The thing is, we appreciate it. The research is meaningful only when somebody takes the current state and progresses further.

Regarding deployability (and newness), we are already in the news in many places because our architecture is cost-effective and scalable. I can understand you are concerned about the security issues but those can be patched (if discovered) at any time possible. BTW all the communication link is already AES encrypted.

I would say, I was not interested to have a talk in your personal number. The discussion which I meant, is to happen in this forum.

For that clarification, go through my research. Or for shake of simplicity, you can search about fork bomb on Google. You will get to know that. You will only be able to understand that if you have core knowledge of operating system and kernel.

May be that can help.

And whatever restricted area there are, ultimately everything is 0 and 1, and right now hackers and intruders doing the things which I don't think have to clearly mention here.

I hope you know that every IoT device has embedded os and most of them are based on Unix and Linux.

Now, gather knowledge about my said bomb and apply that to this IoT based research, you will come to know how much vulnerable it is.

And it disobey the information security, which must be seriously considered.

Thanks, and hope you got that. No further clarification needed.

Krunalkumar Shah : Interesting. I will surely search about fork bomb.

I agreed with you nidhi. I gave my number for help, it's not for just talk.

I want to help you by improving your research. If you are not interested, why should I bother.

I just liked your idea and thought I should help.

Sorry for the inconveniences caused.

Thanks Nidhi Upadhyay.

I'm really very sorry that I disturbed you.

I'm resting my talk here.

I just wanted to give you the direction which now a days no buddy considers and make a backdoor for hacker.

Anyway, thanks once again.

Security is a general issue in any communication; as it is obvious. Other mentioned factors affecting communication itself is buttressed by no relevant information. Self-clarified. Thanks for the explanation Krunalkumar Shah .

Research gate is for providing hints or little help. If you need full explanation or information go Google it or use Wikipedia!

By the way, I rested my talk here. So, I don't want further discussion as author is not interested. If you want to discuss, I have provided my contact.

Krunalkumar Shah , no problem. However, no offense but just a soft reminder. Would like to pin point a few things as I feel there is a necessity. I sense neither a positive energy nor likability in many of your responses to my questions. I am here to just get a few things clarified. From your responses, partially, it definitely did not encourage me to discuss further on this interesting question on covid-19 posed by Nidhi Upadhyay . Just based on only your responses. I am not sure about others. ResearchGate is for exchanging and promoting interest in various emerging topics in several fields. Definitely not to demote people's interest due to various reasons. Again no offense, but please consider reviewing your answers before posting. Just pointing it for your own benefit. Thanks again.

I don't think there's anything own good by posting answer!

What good thing I can achieve by answering people?

I don't want answer, because I know you have list of things which I heard as part of research skills that people do research to show off and publicity and all. If you think about me like this, then you are also of them!

If you find it offensive, go report it. It's the task of research gate to verify it, it's not your task!

And finally, don't teach me what to answer and what not to. If you think my answer is wrong, don't tell me, just report it, it will be handled by research gate team...

I you still want to talk to me, why you are creating scene here, research gate has provided message button too. You can use that...

And from your answer, I got my own good!

That is to ignore you, instead of wasting my time in your meaningless questions!

Finally, not like your soft reminder, but a concrete advice, if you don't like my answer, you will have to report it! Not like whatever you are doing.

Now, all further communication from your side will be totally ignored!

It's alright Krunalkumar Shah. It is a best practice to learn science and engineering much better by asking meaningless questions. In engineering, there are tons of questions to ask and one can learn a lot by just being curious. Lots of meaningless questions have been left unanswered and people out there are still trying to figure out the way to solve them so as to create a sustainable world. They are definitely useful in clarifying certain impeding doubts a researcher has. I have seen many other outstanding researchers who had meaningless questions like you said, and have become very successful in understanding concepts far better than before.

Meaning-less questions are a lot tougher to tackle because many facts are not very obvious. There is a lot of intuition going on there and it requires a deeper sense of appreciation for the subject. It is indeed rational and definitely worth wasting the time to understand that intuition which can cover a lot of ground for further research. It depends whether you have the aptitude for it to tackle those. Let me tell you an experiential story that you can enjoy with. "A student was in a class and asked a teacher a question on the teacher's very strong subject. However, the teacher got mentally stuck and fumbled. Instead, the teacher controlled the emotions and replied back saying "that was a meaningless question to ask and I am shocked you don't know the answer. Go and figure it out in Google". The students gossiped and started mocking by saying that "Look at this teacher who plays common-sense tricks on students, thinking that they don't know." The teacher didn't give way for the fools, but they instead gave the way.

Neither the ResearchGate nor the people here teaches you the professional way to talk. It is something that you as a grown-up man should know. As a kid, you have the room for mistakes. But in this age, and in this profession, if these things happen, you will develop a bad reputation for yourself and that is a disaster. In particular, asking @Nidhi Upadhyay to make a private conversation via your number along with your insensible justifications in RG does not sound good and professional at all. Like she said, the discussion has to happen HERE and right HERE, not in your phone. Secondly, deal your problems by your own. Don't give invitation to others (hope you got it).

I always prefer to ask questions or clarify people's doubts in whatever way I possibly can so that it can benefit them. There is nothing to lose by clarifying people's doubts. If you think there is no good by posting answer and I do the show-off kind of business, then this is pure egoism and nothing can be done to help you my friend. Think about it. RG is a platform to share your research with the people who are not aware of your research. Only if you show people what you're doing, only then will they come to know your work and learn from you. YES, one should share his/her research, and that is how one can understand the definition of research and that's how research truly grows across the world and much more. Hence, it's definitely good to be one among them. So, you can have all the fun here, ask questions, post answers if you know something, provide feedback, help other researchers and grow together. I am not pin-pointing you the way you were doing. I am just correcting you just like I do for others hoping that you don't repeat such mistakes in the future. That's all. All the best for your future endeavors and have a nice day.

Agreed...

Thanks 😊

I have found this paper in IEEEXplore on COVID-19 and the role of IoT, AI and other technologies for this pandemic. This paper looks like a review paper that had made an elaborate case study. It should be useful for you I guess.

K. Suresh : thanks a lot. it is very recently published.

I agree with Gulzar Mehmood . Body Sensor Networks (BSN) or Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) is a network of IoT devices on the patient's body.

This paper is also useful to my knowledge although it is not specifically for covid-19 situation but can be applied for that too. They used these sensors at airport quarantine stations and monitored several parameters like respiratory rates and so on.

Remote body temperature sensing in form of IoT is a possible application area.

@vincent

Yes you have given a valid idea. And I think it's been done at various places.
