CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The researchers’ expertise in electronics leads to the conceptualization of a
sanitizing device with automatic refilling solution and temperature scanner. The proposed
project consists of a hand sanitizer, temperature scanner, sanitizing mat, and automatic
refilling. These four devices were widely used around the world for sanitizing purposes.
The COVID-19 situation is particularly stressful because it’s hard to predict how
things will develop, and our circumstances are changing rapidly. This can leave us feeling
powerless like we’re no longer in control of our own lives. As in the case of many aspects
of our lives, there are things we can’t control in this situation. These include the actions
and reactions of other people, how long the situation will last, and what might happen in
the future.
Corona Virus Diseased 2019 or better known as COVID 19 is an incurable
infectious disease which until now there is no assurance where it came from and when
will it end. According to the World Health Organization (2020) COVID-19 affects
different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate
illness and recover without hospitalization.
Since the corona virus broke out and did spread across the world, demand for hand
sanitizers has soared. When one pressures a pump with one's hand, hand sanitizers are
usually applied by squirting the sanitizer liquid. This allows many individuals, which
raises the risk of viral transmission, to come into contact with the pump handle. Some
hand sanitizers are immediately injected into the market. However, since sanitizer
containers
and pump devices are designed to be compatible only with goods made by the same
company. Customers are often forced to repurchase a liquid bottle if the hand sanitizer is
replaced. The design of an automated hand sanitizer system is compatible with different
sanitizer containers suggested in this paper.
Background of the Study
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and
presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems, and the world of
work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of
millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of
undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to
132 million by the end of the year.
Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3
billion global workforces are at risk of losing their livelihood. Informal economy workers
are particularly vulnerable because the majority lacks social protection and access to
quality health care and have lost access to productive assets. Without the means to earn an
income during the lockdown, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For
most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious food.
The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has laid bare its fragility.
Border closures, trade restrictions, and confinement measures have been preventing
farmers from accessing markets. This also include buying inputs and selling their
produce. Agricultural workers are affected from harvesting crops, thus disrupting
domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe, and
diverse diets. The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk.
As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill, and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of
women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the
most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous
peoples, being hardest hit (World Health Organization, 2020).
The most potent sanitizing solution in the world won’t be effective if people aren’t
using your sanitizing mat system properly. The two most important factors in killing
viruses and bacteria are solution coverage and dwell time. For a sanitizing solution to be
effective, it needs to come into contact with the surfaces that need to be sanitized – so in
this case, shoe soles! Building operators must keep sanitizing mats appropriately charged
with enough sanitizing solutions for users to fully cover their shoe bottoms with the
solution as they enter the building (Source Floor and Specialties Inc, 2020).
An automatic hand sanitizer dispenser manufactured by knowledge-based Exon
Company is a highly applicable device manufactured to confront Coronavirus and to
increase society’s health level. The product has been designed based on observation of
health protocols and social distancing principles, upon which users can use it for touchless
hand sanitization. The device can be used in hospitals, medical clinics, shops,
organizations and administrations, educational institutions, hotels and restaurants, banks,
industrial factories, mosques, etc. Among other advantages of using automatic hand
sanitizer dispensers is controlling the amount of sanitizer used and saving it. When hands
are placed in the proximity of a precise electronic sensor installed in the sanitizer
dispenser, the pump would be triggered to dispense a specific amount of sanitizer. This
will lead to the reduction
of usage made of sanitizer and saving the amount; while, users wouldn’t be required to
touch the device (Exon, 2020).
A temperature sensor is a device, typically, a thermocouple or RTD that provides
for temperature measurement through an electrical signal. A thermocouple (T/C) is made
from two dissimilar metals that generate an electrical voltage in direct proportion to
changes in temperature. An RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is a variable resistor
that will change its electrical resistance in direct proportion to changes in temperature in a
precise, repeatable, and nearly linear manner (Trerice, 2001).

It shows the paradigm of the procedure’s materials performed in the Sanitizing
Device with an Automatic Refilling Solution and Temperature Scanner. The conceptual
model serves as the guide in the development of the project. The input phase, which is
subdivided into knowledge requirements, hardware requirements, and software
requirements, shows the basis and tools needed to complete the project; knowledge
requirements contain the studies and concepts about the java programming language,
project designing, and electronic circuit designing. The evaluation tool is used to measure
and assess the prototype's performance. By describing the research topic and by knowing
the objectives of the study, the researchers find the right process, procedure, and raw
materials needed for the development of the product.

3. Determine the perceived level of acceptability of the prototype in terms of
functionality, aesthetic, workability, durability, marketability, and safety.
4. Determine if there is a significant difference in the perceived level of acceptability of
the respondent in terms of functionality, aesthetic, workability, durability, marketability,
and safety.
Significance of the Study
The study may be useful in the process of refilling sanitizing stations effectively
with automatic sanitizer dispensers.
The study aims to develop a sanitizing device that can help in avoiding and
lessening the contamination of COVID-19.This is a multifunctional device that is relevant
and timely. The study aims to benefit not just a certain number of people who can afford
the device but also families from the middle class or below who may conceptualize it
simply and more cheaply. The following people could benefit from the prototype:
Business owners. When the researchers have conducted the research, the
individual who might own this device may be able to earn money from it, and it could be
offered to the industry because of its availability, usefulness, and quality.

Community. The prototype’s purpose is to protect and control the spread of virus
Researchers. This study may improve researchers in understanding the process of
creating a protection device. It can also be used as a guide and foundation for future
research, recognizing any developments.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study aims to assist in the prevention of the spread of the virus in the
community mainly in shopping malls, schools, and companies. The study of the subject is
focused on the effects of the device on essential workers, not with the people who will be
interacting with them .The product will be tested and evaluated at Laguna State
Polytechnic University's San Pablo Campus and in a business market. It would be placed
near the gate at the entrance. The researchers would choose thirty-nine (39) respondents
to evaluate it, which will include ten (10) technical experts and twenty-nine (29) end-users.
The technical experts are teachers in the Laguna State Polytechnic University, San Pablo
City Campus, while the end-users are students in San Pablo City, Laguna.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The study consists of the review of related literature and studies, both local and
foreign, and significant discourse on the relevance of the included materials to the present
study. This section provides a general picture of the research study.

Sanitizing Floor Mat
The present invention consists of an antibacterial door mat system for cleaning,
disinfecting, and detection of bacteria and other organisms on footwear to control the
spread of biological infections and contamination. The present invention is further
composed of an antibacterial door mat that cleans footwear, detects the presence of
bacteria, and a bio-detection clearance door entry system that controls the entry into
sterile areas (Omidi, 2012).
The Importance of Sanitizing Shoes during COVID-19
We know that washing your hands and keeping a social distance from people is
incredibly important to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus right now. Essential
businesses that are allowed to operate are sanitizing high-touch areas several times a day
such as door handles, countertops, and so on. What people may not realize is that there is
another common virus carrier and that is the person’s shoes (Notrax, 2020).
10
Non-Contact Thermometers for Detecting Fever
Body temperature can be measured in several ways. Traditionally, body
temperature has been measured using contact thermometers that are placed on the
forehead or in the mouth, ear, armpit, or rectum. For children, in particular, rectal
temperature measurement is often considered to be the gold standard. Non-contact
thermometers allow a person’s temperature to be taken with minimal (tympanic) or no
(Non-contact infrared thermometer [NCIT], thermal scanner) contact with the person.
This means the temperature can be measured without the discomfort of having to sit still
with a thermometer in the mouth or armpit long enough to obtain a correct temperature
reading. The lack of contact also means the disinfection process between patients for the
thermometers is minimal or unnecessary, allowing the easier and faster use when
screening large numbers of people in settings like airports or border crossings (Canadian
Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, 2014).
Hand sanitizer
Hand antiseptic, hand rub, agent applied to the hands to remove common
pathogens (disease-causing organisms). Hand sanitizers typically come in foam, gel, or
liquid form. Their use is recommended when soap and water are not available for hand
washing or when repeated hand washing compromises the natural skin barrier (e.g.,
causing scaling or fissures to develop in the skin). Although the effectiveness of hand
sanitizer is variable, it is employed as a simple means of infection control in a wide
variety of settings, from day
care centers and schools to hospitals and health care clinics and from supermarkets to
cruise ships (Rogers, 2006).
11
Handwashing: Clean hands save lives
Handwashing is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of disease.
The five steps that need to be completed every time handwashing occurs are: wet, lather,
scrub, rinse, dry. Using these tips will help disappear the germs and reduce the spread of
disease (Alexis, 2020).

Hand washing and hand hygiene
Washing hands properly is one of the most important things you can do to help
prevent and control the spread of many illnesses. Good hand hygiene will reduce the risk
of things like flu, food poisoning, and healthcare-associated infections being passed from
person to person (Nidirect, 2020).
Design of automatic hand sanitizer system compatible with various containers
Demand for hand sanitizers has surged since the coronavirus broke out and spread around
the world. Hand sanitizers are usually applied by squirting the sanitizer liquid when one
presses a pump with one’s hand. This causes many people to come into contact with the
pump handle, which increases the risk of viral transmission. Some hand sanitizers on the
market are automatically pumped. However, because sanitizer containers and pump
devices are designed to be compatible only between products produced by the same
manufacturer, consumers must also repurchase the container for the liquid if they replace
the hand sanitizer. Therefore, this paper suggests the design of an automatic hand sanitizer
system compatible with various sanitizer containers (Juhui et. al., 2020).
12
Automated Sanitization Device–Hand Sanitization, Thermal Screening, and IoT
based Web-database
In this time of great distress brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, hand
sanitization is of utmost priority to prevent the transmission of germs. We have come forth
with an innovative “automated sanitization device” which makes the process of hand
sanitization and temperature screening rapid, automatic, and easier. The proposed
automated sanitization device contributes significantly to prevent the spread of the virus
and also raises awareness to increase hygiene in public places. The concept of embedded
systems with various sensors attached to a PCB has been used in designing the device.
This paper addresses the methodological details of the proposed automated sanitization
device while focusing on its technical as well as financial expects. The proposed device is
anticipated to be used at various public places like workplaces, residences, railway
stations, etc. working of this model, addressing both the technical as well as the financial
aspect (Prathamesh et al., 2020).
Design of an Intelligent Multifunction Corona Virus Prevention and Monitoring
System Model with Biometric Identification System
The integration of a temperature monitoring scheme as an early warning system
will boost the prevention rate since high temperature is a recognized symptom of the
corona virus in humans. Individual temperature identification in most entrance and exit
points of public places has created isolation and management challenges. This design
incorporates a
13
biometric recognition system to guarantee individual identification using iris pattern
scanning and comparison with an already existing database through internet
communication. Individual details are remotely retrieved without disagreement. The
combination of several known corona virus preventive actions was applied to develop a
new anticipatory model for multiple operations within a single intelligent system. The
model was demonstrated with proteus simulation software integrating the GSM module.
The results proved the functionality of the model. Further research will consider
translating the simulation into a prototype (Kufre, 2020).
Design of automatic hand sanitizer with ultrasonic sensor
An automatic hand sanitizer allows the discharge of the sanitizing liquid without
pressing any nozzle. The design of the automatic hand sanitizer is focused on the
mechanism of pressing the nozzle of the hand sanitizer that involves conversion from a
rotation movement into a translation movement. VDI 2221 method is used to design the
automatic hand sanitizer, which uses Arduino Nano as the microcontroller, servo motor as
the motor, ultrasonic sensor for detecting the movement from the environment, and rack
and pinion system as the mechanism for pressing the nozzle from the hand sanitizer
(Jonathan, L., et al., 2020).
Antimicrobial Properties of Commercial Hand Sanitizers
Hand sanitizers have been developed as a convenient means to decontaminate an
individual’s hands of bacterial pathogens in situations in which soap and water are not
available. Yet to our knowledge, no study has compared the antibacterial efficacy of a
large
14
collection of hand sanitizers. Using zone of growth inhibition and kill curve assays, we
assessed the performance of 46 commercially available hand sanitizers that were obtained
from national chain big-box stores, gasoline stations, pharmacies, and boutiques for
antibacterial activity toward prototypical Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and

Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial pathogens. Results revealed substantial
variability in the efficacy of many sanitizers evaluated (Johnson, et. al. 2021).
Sanitizing device and Associated Method Using Electrochemically Produced
Sanitizing Agents
This device includes a component for sanitizing a surface, liquid, gas, and/or
associated surrounding environment. The sanitizing component may be an
electrochemical cell having an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte component, that
works in cooperation with a power source and a precursor material. The electrochemical
cell, power source, and precursor material may be supported by a housing. Upon
application of a potential across the electrodes of the electrochemical cell, a sanitizer is
formed from the precursor material. The housing contains an outlet for releasing the
sanitizer (Ashok et. al. 2007).
Sanitizing Floor Mat
A sanitizing floor mat is for the user's shoes when the user steps thereon to prevent
the spread of germs and bacteria on the user's shoes. The sanitizing floor mat includes a
body that is substantially planar so that it can be placed flush on the floor, wherein the mat
is preferably placed in the threshold of a doorway. The body is composed of absorbent
material and is impregnated with a disinfecting solution. The disinfecting solution is
15
preferably an antiseptic one. A base layer is disposed on an underside of the body,
wherein the base layer is composed of a high-friction material to prevent the sanitizing
floor mat from slipping on the floor (Collins, 2016).

Shoe cleaning mat assembly
A floor mat assembly for cleansing and sanitizing one’s shoes to prevent tracking
dirt from one area to another. The assembly is provided with a first area that moistens the
soles of the wearer’s shoes by utilizing the wearer’s weight to dispense a controlled
amount of cleaning solution to loosen the dirt. An adjacent second area removes the
cleaning solution along with the suspended dirt and dries the shoes (Kureca and Monroe,
1972).
Shoe Sanitization Machine
The main objective of the system is to disinfect the shoes by throwing a liquid
sanitizer. The system looks like a shoe mat. The sanitizer sprayer is placed under the mat.
The system sprays liquid fluid when it senses the shoes. An IR sensor array is used for
sensing the presence of shoes or people. The micro-controller is responsible for
coordinating the whole system such as, ON/OFF the liquid flows, senses the shoes, etc.
Additionally, the proposed unit provides the required amount of spillage and gets prepared
for the next action rapidly within 15 seconds of duration (Shailesh et. al. 2021).
Anti-microbial Floor Mat
A floor mat system is placed directly near an entryway to permit the disinfecting
and cleaning of shoe soles and all other surfaces contacting directly with the fibers of the
16
mat. The floor mat system consists of a frame structure either mechanical or rubberized in
construction. The top portion being of a carpet-type fiber construction, with a hollow
center portion and rubberized non-skid backing against the floor and sides. The hollow
center portion of the system may be enclosed and a microbicidal component introduced
to the carpet fiber portion in a capillary action. Alternatively, the microbicidal component
may be contained in a separate enclosed package which is introduced to the carpet fiber
portion through spray heads located on the enclosed package in a pressure action
activated by weight on the top carpet layer. The floor mat system may also be integrated
into other floors or carpets. The floor mat system may also include a moisture absorbing
component, a cushioning component, customized graphics, anti-fungal composition, or a
fragrance. Anti-slip features may be associated with the mat to prevent slipping.
Additionally, a sensor may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying
when the floor mat system may require a refill of the microbicidal component (Michael,
2005).
Body Temperature Norms
Normal body temperature varies by person, age, activity, and time of day. The
average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6°F (37°C). Some studies
have shown that the "normal" body temperature can have a wide range, from 97°F
(36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C). A temperature over 100.4°F (38°C) most often means you
have a fever caused by an infection or illness. Body temperature normally changes
throughout the day. (MedlinePlus, 2021).
17
Increasing Safety with Biometric Temperature Screening
DERMALOG's detection system measures body temperature by scanning people's
faces using the latest sensor technology. The DERMALOG camera can simultaneously
check up to 5 people. If an increased temperature is detected, the system sets off an alarm
or even denies access, for example, as part of an automated access control system. As an
option, the temperature check includes automated face mask detection. If a person passes
the camera without a mask, the system displays a message informing that a mask is
mandatory (DERMALOG Identification Systems GmbH, 2021).
Hand Sanitizer in a Pandemic: Wrong Formulations in the Wrong Hands
Households are increasingly stockpiling and producing hand sanitizer amid the
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which can pose an increased risk for
unintentional toxicity among children. Despite guidelines for hand sanitizer production
published by the World Health Organization, many turns to streaming media for
instruction. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate hand sanitizer formulations
and safety precautions discussed in popular do-it-yourself (DIY) YouTube videos and to
assess the frequency of calls to poison control centers for pediatric hand sanitizer
exposure before and after the arrival of COVID-19 in the United States (Amir & William,
2020).
Automatic Hand Sanitizer System Compatible with Various Container The demand
for hand sanitizers has surged as the corona virus broke out and spread around the world.
Alcohol gel hand sanitizers are usually applied by squirting the sanitizer liquid when one
presses a pump with one’s hand. This causes many people to come into
18
contact with the pump handle, which increases the risk of viral transmission. Pressing the
pump handle is bothersome and many passes by without disinfecting their hands.
Moreover, each person presses the pump handle differently, making it difficult to predict
the amount of use and to manage refills and replacements. For this reason, the actual use
of hand sanitizers is reduced, which does not help prevent the spread of the virus. Some
hand sanitizers on the market are automatically pumped. However, because sanitizer
containers and pump devices are designed to be compatible only between products
produced by the same manufacturer, consumers must also repurchase the container for the
liquid if they replace the hand sanitizer. It is not economical and it harms the environment
by increasing waste emissions. In addition, some users may think that it is a hassle to buy
a hand sanitizer-containing device compatible again, so they pour other hand sanitizers
into previously used containers and reuse them. However, sanitizers that come directly
into contact with the human body are classified as medicines or non-medical products,
and they are safest to use in original containers (Health Inform Res., 2020).
Body Temperature
Normal body temperature varies by person, age, activity, and time of day. The
average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6 F (37 C). Some studies
have shown that the “normal” body temperature was 98.6 F (37.2 C) (MedlinePlus, 2018).
Fever: First Aids
Fever is a rise in body temperature. It's usually a sign of infection. The fever itself
is generally harmless and probably helpful. Fevers usually don't need treatment.
19
The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C). But normal body temperature can range
between 97 F (36.1 C) and 99 F (37.2 C) or more. Your body temperature can vary
depending on how active you are or the time of day (Mayo Clinic, 2021).
Automated Sanitizer & Temperature Anomaly Detector
Hand sanitizers are usually applied by pressing the sanitizer dispenser cap with
hands, causing many people to come into contact with the dispenser cap surface, which
increases the probability of getting infected. As per the recommendation and advice are
given by WHO and the medical fraternity, vigorous sanitization is needed for protection
from this virus. The presented module provides the solution for this issue by introducing
an innovative automatic hand sanitizer-cum- temperature sensing system, which can
perform sanitization and detect temperature simultaneously whenever desired, without
any contact with the machine, thus eradicating the possibility of getting infected from the
manual usage of sanitizer dispenser. The paper discusses briefly the different sensors
being used in the module, namely PIR Sensor, MLX90614(temperature sensor), and
HCSR04(ultrasonic distance sensor) (International Journal of Innovative Science and
Research Technology, 2021).
Automated Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Integrated with Contactless Temperature Gun
and Pulse Oximeter
COVID-19 is the greatest threat we are facing now. Using masks, gloves,
sanitizing our hands, getting checked for Temperature, Pulse rate and Oxygen level have
become our new normal. However, in public places, people are still at risk when they use
conventional
20
sanitizer dispensers and allot a person with a temperature gun, who himself is at the risk
of getting affected by COVID. Our Sensor based Automated System will be a better
solution for the current scenario and it is risk-free. It combines checks for temperature,
oxygen level, and the buzzer go off indicating that the person has some conditions. In this
approach, we have integrated three systems namely Sanitizer Dispensing System (SDS),
Temperature Monitoring System (TMS), and Pulse rate and Oxygen level Monitoring
System (POMS) that are built into a single Hybrid System. The Sanitizer Dispensing
System (SDS) consists of Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, Relay
Module connected to Arduino UNO, Water pump, Sanitizer tank, and Indicator LEDs.
The Temperature Monitoring System (TMS) consists of MLX90614 Temperature Sensor,
a Buzzer connected to Arduino UNO, and an LCD. Pulse rate and Oxygen level
Monitoring System (POMS) consists of a MAX30100 pulse oximeter sensor connected to
NODEMCU and the LCD. This integrated system does not require physical assistance,
which prevents the spread of the disease to a great extent (TURCOMAT, 2021)
Smart Sanitizer Disperser with Level Monitoring
A smart sanitizer is an automatic sanitizer dispensing machine with no physical contact. It
is an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that can be used in schools, hospitals, workplaces,
offices, and much more. This alcohol is a solvent and not only a solvent it is also a very
good disinfectant which is very much required in this current pandemic, as alcohol is
volatile so it will vaporize instantly after application to hands. It is also proven and well
known that above 70% of alcohol can kill Coronavirus in hands. In this we are using an
IR sensor to sense the hand placed near the bottle, esp32 as microcontroller which senses
the
21
distance and the result is the pump running to pump out the hand sanitizer (Turkish
Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education (TURCOMAT, 2021).
Smart Hand Sanitizer Offers Extra Protection Against Coronavirus The SAVORTEX
hand sanitizer harnesses sensors to provide users with the exact amount of sanitizer
required. It provides owners with real-time anonymized usage data, yielding insights into
cleaning patterns and whether building occupants are maintaining a sufficient level of
hygiene (Chandler, 2020).
Benefits of Using a Hand Sanitizer Dispenser
Hand sanitizers can reduce the risk of spreading gastrointestinal and respiratory
infections between co-workers. These dispensers allow for minimal contact with other
surfaces and have a stronger bacteria-killing agent than the average hand soap (Honey
bucket, 2018).
Importance of Automatic Hand Sanitizer to Improve Health and Hygiene of
Individuals During Pandemic
There is a high risk of COVID virus transmission through manual use of sanitizers
in public places. The contagion is primarily attributed to droplets of saliva generated by
coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge. For instance, when an infected person touches the
manual sanitizer, there is a high probability of viruses being transmitted to other healthy
individuals. Hence personal hygiene and protection are paramount. This can be achieved
22
through the automating hand sanitizer (touch-free), where there is no need for manual
operation (Deepak et al., 2021).
The Importance of Hand Sanitizer Placement in the Workplace
Using hand sanitizer reduces microbial counts and kills many harmful germs that
could infect workers with the flu and other viruses. To keep the workplace a healthy and
thriving environment, employers must consider the health of their employees. Providing
hand sanitizer for employees, at desks, and in communal areas, is just as essential as
providing the right equipment and tools to do their job (Faivre, 2018).
Make an Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Using Arduino
The COVID-19 pandemic has radically affected life for almost everyone around
the globe, and makers are no exception. With everyone being more careful of their
interactions with humans and objects, personal hygiene has taken serious precedence over
all other factors in public space. A lot of public places have hand sanitizers for visitors,
but they need to be manually pressed (Maker.io Staff, 2020).
COVID 19: myths and facts
The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 varies from being asymptomatic to clinical
conditions characterized by respiratory failure. Management of the disease is mostly
supportive in the form of oxygen supplementation, noninvasive ventilation, and in severe
cases, mechanical ventilation. There is no specific antiviral treatment available nor is
there any vaccine available. The most important step to curb this disease is the prevention
of the
23
spread by social distancing and strict hand hygiene. This review article describes various
myths and facts about COVID-19 and various preventive measures which should be
followed to limit the spread of this disease (Gurmeet, S., 2020).
Evaluation System
An Evaluation Instrument for Prototype Production has been formulated and
validated by the Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU) with six (6) key criteria:
safety, functionality, aesthetics, workability, durability, and economy. These conditions are
defined as follows:
Functionality. This refers to the capacity under the stated condition to accomplish
the necessary results and device functions.
Aesthetics. It refers to the prototype's physical features. It requires the
appropriateness of the design's use of color, shapes, structure, and style. Workability. It
refers to the availability of resources, equipment, machines, and technological
knowledge.
Durability. It refers to the lifetime of materials, workmanship, and design for
consistency.
Marketability. It refers to the minimum amount of materials used, the time and
effort exerted to create the prototype, and other things needed.
Safety. It refers to the correct operation of the prototype in the absence of any
anomalies which could bring inconvenience.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter aims to explain the methods and procedures to be used in the analysis
and interpretation of results, consisting of the research design, project design, population
and sample of the study, research instruments, research process, and statistical treatment.
Research Design
The researchers developed a Sanitizing Device with Automatic Refilling Solution
and Temperature scanner. The Project has three main uses; first, the hand sanitizer to
sanitize our hands and it will automatically, because of motion sensors. Second, the
temperature to determine or to check our body temperature before entering any
establishment. Lastly, connect the tube for the sanitizing solution and it is connected to the
sanitizing mat with a moisture sensor to sense if the mat is dry.
Developmental research, as opposed to simple instructional development, has
been defined as the systematic study of designing, developing, and evaluating
instructional programs, processes, and products that must meet criteria of internal
consistency and effectiveness. Developmental research is particularly important in the
field of instructional technology. The most common types of developmental research
involve situations in which the product-development process is analyzed and described,
and the final product is evaluated. The second type of developmental research focuses
more on the impact of the product on the learner or the organization. The third type of
study is oriented toward a
25
general analysis of design development or evaluation processes as a whole or as
components (Richey, 1994).
Project Design
The design of the Sanitizing Device with Automatic Refilling Solution and
Temperature Scanner was shown in the figures below. Demonstrate the detailed size of the
unit. The system is a circular and calculating unit. It has been designed as a portable
device.
Figure 2. Block Diagram
The block diagram of the proposed Sanitizing Device with Automatic Refilling
Solution and Temperature Scanner is shown in figure 2. It displays input and output
modules connected to the Arduino UNO microcontroller. The power supply is responsible
for supplying the device using electricity. The Arduino Uno is the main operator of
various components such as; ultrasonic sensor, moisture sensor, LCD monitor, scanner,
sound alarm and relay. The temperature scanner is connected to the Arduino Uno and its
function
26
is to read a person’s body temperature. If it exceeds the normal body temperature, a
warning will appear on the LCD monitor and it will alarm. The ultrasonic sensor is
connected to the Arduino Uno, it censors the hand to provide sanitizer. The DC
mini-pump "B" would carry the sanitizer to disinfect the hand. The moisture sensor
detects liquid solution and pumps “C’ giving if dry the sensor and solenoid valve to force
stop refill on the sanitizing mat and hand sanitizer. When the moisture sensor detects that
the sanitizing mat is dry, it would automatically refill it. occur to apply a controlled
amount of solution to the sanitizing mat. By launching the relay, it acts as a level sensor,
if the float switch is lowered the DC mini-pump "A" will work and it will refill the main
container.
Figure 3. Isometric view of the Prototype
27
The Isometric diagram of the proposed Sanitizing Device with Automatic
Refilling Solution and Temperature Scanner is shown in figure 3 shone the distinctions of
the part of the prototype, first is the chassis which is the main frame of the prototype,
inside of the chassis is the Arduino UNO, power supply 9 volts and 12 volts, buzzer
alarm, LCD monitor, ultrasonic sensor, hand sanitizer dispenser, thermal scanner, and the
main container of the sanitary solution. Second is the temperature scanner that will be
sensing the user’s temperature, if your temperature is high the buzzer inside the device
will make an alarm that the user’s temperature is high then it will be displayed on the
LCD monitor. The third is the hand sanitizer it will automatically spray the sanitizing
solution into the user’s hand by the use of an ultrasonic sensor if it senses the hand it will
spray the sanitizing solution. Forth is the Arduino outlet it is the outlet to access and
reprogram the Arduino UNO inside the device. Fifth is the sanitizing mat that will
sanitize the user’s feet if the mat is dry out the humidity sensor inside it will trigger the
Arduino to dispense another solution to the sanitizing mat by the use of hose and wire
that attach to the main assembly and the mat. Sixth is the second container which is
attached to the main container. It supplies the main container if it ran out of sanitizing
solution and finally the stand that supports the whole assembly.

Population and Sampling Technique
The researchers will use simple random sampling for data gathering. According to
Valerie J. Easton and John H. McColl's from Yale University Simple random sampling is
the process of selecting a subset of subjects (sample) from a wider community for
research (population). An individual is selected at random, and everyone in the
population has an equal probability of being included in the survey. A sample of a certain
size has the same probability of being chosen. The researchers will wait for the
statistician's advice for a better sampling technique.
31
Research Instrument
The study utilized a researcher-made questionnaire of eighteen (18) short
questions divided into six (6) parts. The first part is about the device's functionality, on its
expected output towards the users that will be testing it. The second is the user's
judgment of the prototype's appearance. The third part is the maintainability of the device
focusing on the tools and experts available that are required, in case the device
malfunctions. The fourth part is about the durability of the device during operation, and
for how long and consistently it can perform its functions repeatedly throughout the day.
The fifth is about the device’s marketability, the affordability of the materials, and the
duration of assembling the prototype. The sixth and last part is about the safety of the
device towards the users. Since there would be around twenty-nine (29)
Students/end-user and ten (10) technical experts total of thirty-nine (39) respondents in
San Pablo City, Laguna that would be present to work during the day, the researchers
printed out thirty- nine (39) questionnaires for them to answer after using the sanitizing
device.
Data Gathering
The researchers used a self-made questionnaire of respondents with the given
Likert scale: 4.21-5.00- High Acceptable (HA), 3.41-4.20 Very Acceptable (VA),
2.61-3.40- Acceptable (A), 1.80-2,60-Fairly acceptable (FA), 1.00-1.80- Not acceptable
(NA). The questionnaires were given to the respondents after they view the prototype.
The researchers collected the answered questionnaires from the essential student and
experts to interpret the outcome of the data gathered.
32
Planning Stage
The design, criteria, and specifications based on the goal of the study were the
subject of the planning stage of this research study. The procurement of materials and
preparation of tools and equipments are also included. The internal and external
components of the project would also be designed in this process. It defined the various
materials that would be used in the prototype. The initial design, which focuses on the
basic cores and modules of the project, would be generated in the first iteration. The
second would then develop the prototype's aesthetics. When changes are required, further
revisions would begin.
Testing stage
Each feature of a prototype should be tested against its specification at this stage to
ensure that the intended action is carried out. The prototype would be subjected to a series
of tests to validate its compliance with defined criteria and to define its capabilities and
limitations and assess its acceptability in terms of functionality, aesthetics, workability,
durability, marketability, and also the safety of the project.
Operation and Testing procedure
The quality and functionality of the prototype were inspected during the operation
and testing of the project development. To validate the prototype, the following steps
were executed:

CHAPTER IV
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The project description, structure, development, production schedule, project test
result, marketing strategies, resource management, cost analysis, and project evaluation
are all covered in this chapter. This chapter comprises the presentation, analysis, and
interpretation of the findings resulting from this study. The analysis and interpretation of
data were carried out in three phases. The first part was based on the results of the survey
questionnaire that deals with the profile of the respondents. The second part was based on
the results of the level of acceptability of the project design. The third part was based on
the results of the significant difference between the two groups of respondents.
Project Description
The prototype has three functions in one device: it can detect a person's body
temperature, sanitize their hands and shoes, and then automatically refill when the
container inside is empty. The Arduino UNO controls all of the necessary connections and
the purpose of the launching relay is to supply and manage the liquid solution inside the
container.
The 12volts power supply would power 3 separate motors pumps performing
different functions that are: refilling the main container, the other is for dispensing hand
sanitizing solution and the last is for dispensing solution on the sanitizing mat when the
moisture sensor detects the mat is dry. The 9volts power supply would power the Arduino
UNO that is connected to the sensors, so that an error would not occur during the
prototype’s functions. The sensors that are connected and would be operated by the
39
Arduino UNO are the ultrasonic sensor that will detect the objects in front of it, and a
moisture sensor for reading the liquid solution on the sanitizing mat. The solenoid valve is
connected to the pump and forced to stop refilling on the sanitizing mat. LCD display is
to show the temperature of the person as shown by the scanner , if the person's
temperature is high, the sound alarm would let out consecutive beeping noises and the
relay is in charge of reacting from the sensors reading, sending those readings to the
Arduino. So the Arduino would be operating the individual pump motors. The launching
relay is a manually operated level sensor that uses a high and low relay connected to two
float switches and powered by 12 volts. If the float switch is lowered, the liquid solution
would automatically refill; however, if the liquid solution rises, the low switch would no
longer be affected, the second float switch would activate, and the refill would stop
functioning.
Project Structure
This would be the base idea and designs that would be carried over to the
prototype. Each base idea and design shall be present on the finished project structure

Table 13 sh the device almost performed perfectly throughout the accuracy tests,
except for the fourth parameter trial that is “the time it takes to supply the sanitizing mat”
it failed the first test because one the moisture sensors indicated a side of the mat is still
wet so the motor pump did not dispense the liquid solution on it.
Cost and Return Analysis
In order to gauge the efficiency and effectiveness of the budget policies through
the cost and return analysis.
Table 14. Miscellaneous

Expenses (Miscellaneous) Amount (Php)
Utilities 400
Shipping Fees 250
TOTAL 650
The total cost of material was Php 7,410 which was detailed on table 1 under
Supplies and Materials on Chapter 3.
Unit Price = Php 9,700.00
Yield = 1
Unit Cost (Php7,410.00) + Miscellaneous (Php650.00) = Total Cost
(Php8,060.00)
To compute the data, the formula below is used.
Unit Price x Yield Product = Profit
Profit – Total Cost = Revenue/Return
9,700 X 1 = 9,700
9,700 – 8,060 = 1,640

The perceived level of acceptability from the groups on the sanitizing device with
automatic refilling solution and temperature scanner in term of functionality, workability,
durability and safety, have no significant difference of acceptability between the two
groups of respondents. The technical expert and end-users have found the aesthetics of the
sanitizing device with automatic refilling solution and temperature scanner is significant,
for both groups have misunderstood that the device is mainly designed to accomplish it`s
functions on preventing the spread of the virus, that there was not much time or resources
to improve on the device appearances. As a result of the performance presentation, both
groups of respondents were highly satisfied with the device functionality, aesthetic,
workability, durability, marketability, and safety of the sanitizing device with automatic
refilling solution and temperature scanner. This confirms that the sanitizing device with
automatic refilling solution and temperature scanner was accepted by the technical expert
and end-user.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This Chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusion and recommendations
of the study
Summary of Findings
The study utilized developmental-descriptive type of research using quantitative
approach. The researchers assessed the product design through the two group of
respondents using the survey questionnaire. The project design was assessed in terms of
the layout, concept, appropriateness and value by thirty (39) randomly selected
respondents divided into two groups. The first group was from selected students from the
Laguna State Polytechnic University, San Pablo City Campus and the second group were
selected Technical Expert in San Pablo City, Laguna.
The significant findings of the study are as follows:
1. Majority of the end-user respondents were, 20-30 years old (f=20, %=100), male
(f=16, %=53.33), students (f=30, %=100). Moreover, majority of the experts were
either, 20-30, 31-40 or 51-60 years old (f=3, %=30), male (f =3, %=30),
2. In terms of the level of acceptability, the design of the sanitizing device with
automatic refilling solution and temperature scanner was found out to be “Highly
Acceptable” as perceived by the respondents in terms of Functionality (x

=4.73,
̅
SD=0.04), Aesthetics (x=4.48, SD=0.5), Workability (x

̅ =4.76,
̅ SD=0.05),
58
Durability (x=4.51, SD=0.01), Marketability ((x

̅ =4.55,
̅ SD=0.19), and Safety
(x
=4.58,
̅ SD=0.03),
3. The test of difference revealed that is no significant difference between the
perceived level of acceptability of the two groups of respondents on the sanitizing
devices in terms Functionality (p=0.76), Aesthetics (p=0.03), Workability
(p=0.49), Durability (p=0.29), Marketability (p=0.23), Safety(p=0.57).
Conclusions
Based on the findings of the study, the sanitizing device with automatic refilling
solution and temperature scanner that was developed by the researchers was functional
and accurate. The results of the evaluation imply that the device has passed its
functionality, aesthetic, workability, durability, marketability, and safety for the
community.
Recommendations
The following are highly recommended for future researchers:
1. The use of alternative power source such as the integration of solar power panel
maybe used to lessen electricity bill.
2. A more accurate level sensor may be used to increase the performance and
accuracy of the project design.
3. Provision of an intruder alarm and sensor is also suggested.
4. Installation of caster wheels may be done to make the device to be easily
transported
59
5. Other types of LCD monitor may be used to improve the design and aesthetics of
the prototype
