    iMask: An IoT-based Intelligent Mask to Identify and Track COVID-19 Suspects
    (IEEE, 2022-09-08) Yamasinghe, N; Ranasinghe, Y; Dissanayake, Y; Wijekoon, J.L; Panchendrarajan, R
    COVID-19 has become a global health concern, and wearing masks is a key measure to curb COVID-19 from rapidly spreading. While COVID-19 patients can be accurately determined using Rapid Antigen and PCR tests, these tests are costly, time-consuming, invasive, and uncomfortable. Further, they should be performed in a specialized environment despite showing the COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, and low blood oxygen saturation level. To this end, this study aims to automatically identify, and track the COVID-19 suspects in real-time by embedding smart sensors to face masks. The mask was developed to gather the data related to five major symptoms of COVID-19: body temperature, cough, heart rate, breathing pattern, and blood oxygen level. Data collected using smart sensors were used to identify and track COVID-19 suspects using Deep Neural Networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Yielded results showed the proposed mask can identify COVID-19 suspects 92% accurately.
