Abstract

raditional methods to measure height in clinics often depend on manual methods, which can cause mistakes due to human errors and equipment limits. This article talks about a system for measuring height without contact, using ultrasonic sensors to make things more accurate and efficient while lessening physical contact. It's made for clinics, hospitals, and other health places, and includes a WiFi part for automatic data recording, tackling issues with both accuracy and cleanliness. The system finds height by timing how long it takes for ultrasonic waves to return from the top of the patient's head. The info is sent wirelessly to a main database, so there's no need for manual entry, which helps cut down mistakes in patient records. The findings indicated that the ultrasonic sensor's efficiency has an error range of 0.1-0.5 for 2-200 cm measurements. The contactless feature of the system greatly improves hygiene by lessening physical contact, a key point in today’s healthcare, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. In summary, this new system is a big improvement over previous height measurement techniques, offering better accuracy, safety, and efficiency in clinical work.
