Abstract
Traditional temperature monitoring system for blood delivery requires a USB cable to extract data after delivery has been completed. Without real-time temperature data during delivery, the quality of the products cannot be monitored efficiently. In this paper, we have designed and developed a mobile application-based temperature monitoring system for medical needs delivery. It has a mobile application to display temperature data in real-time. The system includes Arduino Uno, DHT22, DS3231, microSD card adapter and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. The temperature and humidity data were stored in the microSD card and ThingSpeak server for further analysis. A mobile application allowed users to visualized and monitor the temperature of the payload during delivery. For the system test and evaluation purpose, the developed temperature monitoring system was placed inside a polystyrene box. The temperature and humidity data were acquired using DHT22 and Fluke t3000 fc in cold and ambient temperature for 30 minutes with a sampling time of 2 seconds in the polystyrene box. The results showed that the correlations error 0.96 and 1.00, respectively. Finally, we showed that the developed temperature monitoring system can capture and record temperature data in real-time. It is reliable and comparable to a high-end temperature monitor.
Highlights
Over the past decade, the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is often referred to as drones [1]
3.1 Preliminary test The developed temperature monitoring system consists of Arduino Uno, DHT22, DS3231, microSD card adapter and ESP8266 ESP-01 Wi-Fi module
The system is powered by two 3.7V LiPo batteries with a switch for turning the temperature monitoring system on or off
Summary
The operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is often referred to as drones [1]. Drones have a variety of applications and their application is absorbed into healthcare system. Medical supplies are defined as items required for the treatments of illness or injuries [2]. Medical supplies have their own properties and storage requirements to avoid any spoilage or defects that will lead them to be disposed. Medical supplies will lose their functionality if they are out of their controlled iJIM ‒ Vol 15, No 09, 2021
