A Novel System for Surgical Gloves Removing and Reusing - IoT Approach

Abstract

COVID -19 is a threat to any living species. This has not left even animals. Hence, proper precaution should be taken to avoid the spread of this deadly disease. This affects humans, which cause severe respiratory disease. Glove is the important element to stop spreading. But proper removal of glove is not maintained. Fully automated sensor unit is built for hand sensing and gloves removal unit is designed using microcontroller device to remove the gloves. Mechanical setup with the rod is designed to remove the glove from hand. An output LCD display that display the step by step status of removal process. Gloves contamination is measured using thermal image camera. If the gloves are sensed as reusable then from the smart dust bin it is send to further sanitization process. Else the gloves are completely discarded. We know the COVID -19 stays in the surgical gloves for 8hrs. So the reusable gloves are proceeding for the further processing of sanitation and sterilization. Smart bin is placed to collect the reusable glove.
