Chapter 7 - Smart equipment to protect patients and people from COVID disease

Abstract

An intelligent system is designed in this proposal to handle this crucial situation in a better way. The algorithm is developed in such a way that medical equipment are disposed of in hospitals as normal. If the hospital has a COVID-19 block the used equipment should be disposed of in a closed lid so that the spread of viruses can be reduced. The main motive of this proposal is to reduce the human resources, improve waste disposal, and make the waste reusable. In a hospital environment there is different color code that decides which equipment should be disposed of. The doctors and the nurse are the people who decide what color code is to be used for the disposal of medical equipment. The different color-coded waste bin is chosen for making reusable waste into a fertilizer for agricultural fields. To do this process the system is designed in an efficient method and cost reduction is maintained until the end of the process. Before entering the recycling process all the waste should be sanitized. After the verification process is done on the waste materials the recycling process gets started on the basis of the color code of the waste collection. A smart bin will be designed for each color code based on the usage of the medical equipment; the segregation process will be carried out in each phase. In the final phase after the recycling process it will be used as fertilizer and will be distributed to the farmers to improve crop yield. An algorithm is going to work on data verification and checking process, which will be done automatically. After the data automation process a intimation will be sent to the final testing process where it helps us to do segregation process in an efficient way.
