The first set of alert signals can be configured to actuate one or more indication devices 108.
[0036] In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a wearable device that can be worn by a user. The device can be used to detect body temperature of entities that can include any or combination of people, animal, and robot that is in a pre-defined range of the user. The device can alert the user about health condition of the entities around the user. At the same time the device can show a direction in which the entity is coming from/in. The user can take a necessary action based on the alert signals received from the device.
[0037] In an embodiment, if a user wearing the proposed device is in a public place, the device can sense temperature of people in proximity with the user. If there is someone who is having high temperature, the device can make user aware of the individual and a direction which he/she is coming from/in. The user can take preventive actions such as can wear mask, can change his/her direction of movement such that the used does not get too close to the user. In this way the proposed device can prevent the user wearing the device from getting infected from others.
[0038] Moreover, in interpreting the specification, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refer to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C ….and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
