The COVID e-Gate combines both contact tracing information and temperature screens in one system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tested earlier this year, and with potential for rollout for COVID-19 variants or reconfiguring for other infectious diseases, the e-Gate is designed to provide efficient screening and contact tracing process before people enter hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Audrey P Wang, a researcher in biomedical informatics and digital health from the University of Sydney, said the system uses a personalised QR code for physical gate-enabled access based on a combination of evidence-based COVID-19 screening questions and temperature checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur COVID e-Gate utilises near real-time data analytics to provide the latest available screening information,\u201d said Dr Wang, from the University\u2019s Sydney Institute for Infectious Diseases, Charles Perkins Centre and Faculty of Medicine and Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of technology at Sydney Children&#8217;s Hospitals Network, Mr Michael Dickinson, said the system had been trialled by more than 1500 staff and regular visitors over the past eight months. \u201cNot only does the e-Gate have the ability to be easily expanded to other hospitals but the IoT smart approach to health screening could be useful in other large locations \u2013 such as airports and major sports or entertainment venues,\u201d Mr Dickinson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Wang said: \u201cWe welcome enquiries from organisations who wish to implement and evaluate technology augmented rapid screening workflow systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The e-Gate research project is a Westmead Health Precinct collaboration between the University of Sydney\u2019s Faculty of Medicine and Health, Faculty of Engineering, School of Architecture, Design and Planning and The Children\u2019s Hospital at Westmead, which is part of Sydney Children\u2019s Hospitals Network. It represents a multi-disciplinary collaboration facilitated by the Sydney Institute for Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26711,"featured_media":13284,"template":"","news-category":[54,62],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>University of Sydney develops hospital COVID e-Gate - IoT M2M Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iotm2mcouncil.org\/iot-library\/news\/connected-health-news\/university-of-sydney-develops-hospital-covid-e-gate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"University of Sydney develops hospital COVID e-Gate - IoT M2M Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The University of Sydney and Sydney Children&#8217;s Hospitals Network have developed an IoT-based COVID-19 e-Gate integrated entry screening system with The Children&#8217;s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney.
