Abstract:
With the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic,
vaccination has become mandatory. Further, for effective
results, the vaccines should be stored within the recommended temperature range, typically between 2◦C to 8◦C,
transported safely without any mishandling and temperature
excursion. In order to assure vaccine potency, it is essential
to have detailed information on the entire temperature data
recorded at user-defined intervals. In this paper, we develop
functionality interaction to bring different sensors, memory,
and processing units to an integrated platform, providing
a compact, power-efficient, and low-cost commercial TemperatuRE, Humidity, and MOvement Data-logger (THERMOD).
Moreover, the THERMOD hardware is packed with interactive
algorithms that address the aforementioned concerns and
log the real-time temperature and jerks (3-dimensional movement) encountered throughout the journey, and the logged
data can be retrieved by plugging THERMOD into the host
computer/laptop. The THERMOD hardware formulation and
algorithm embedding have been done in the institution lab,
which enables end-to-end storage and monitoring. Also, the
proposed design is built with the defined standards by health organizations, e.g., WHO. Further, to validate the proficiency
of the proposeddesign,comparative analysishas been done; a) a cost analysishas been done to state the cost efficiencyof
the proposed solution, b) real-time power performance graphs have been plotted which depict that THERMOD outperforms
the existing solutions. Moreover, a number of experiments were performed for the validation of the proposed design.
