An IoT-based wearable device for ensuring social distancing using RSSI technology

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO issued guidelines emphasizing social distancing as a primary preventive measure. Despite recommendations to maintain a certain distance, adherence remains inconsistent. This study proposes an IoT-based solution using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) for target detection within a specific range. If a breach occurs, an indicator alerts the individual. Unlike many studies focusing on contact tracing, this approach emphasizes proactive social distancing. The portable device continuously monitors and alerts individuals when they fall below the threshold. The proposed system outperforms existing methods, ensuring precise and reliable social distancing compliance.
