BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
With the spark of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease) outbreak and the continuous rise of
cases each day especially in the Philippines, the impact it has led to the people affected are
mostly negative.

Countless violators of proper social distancing that results in the increase of the rate of
transmission from person to person.

The researchers thought of a solution to lessen the unnecessary infection by creating the
Social Distancing Bracelet that assist the user in following correct guidelines.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to test the effectiveness of Social Distancing Bracelet in decreasing the
chances of a person to get the COVID-19.
OBJECTIVES

To prove the effectiveness of Social Distancing Bracelet as a social distancing

gadget. It was able to decrease the chance of a person from getting COVID-19.

To create the prototype/model of the system and successfully programmed the

mechanism to effectively perform its function on the simulation
HYPOTHESIS
Alternative Hypothesis

The Social Distancing Bracelet would be an effective social distancing gadget.

Null Hypothesis
A Social Distancing Bracelet wouldn't be an effective social distancing gadget.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study aims to decrease the chance of a person from getting COVID-19. With the
help of Social Distancing Bracelet a person can get a distance of 1 meter on his/her
surroundings. The bracelet has a buzzer that triggers when a person is not at a distance
of at least 1 meter on his/her surroundings. The researchers would want to prove the
effectiveness of this study in decreasing a person's chance of getting COVID-19.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION

Solving the countless violators of social distancing. Aims to decrease the transmission
rate of which the COVID-19 is passed from person to person by the help of the Social
Distancing Bracelet which assists the user in following the correct guidelines for social
distancing.

This study is limited only to preventing and lessening the chances of a person getting
infected by the COVID-19
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Collection of the materials Testing the effectiveness
that is used in this project. of the prototype

Collection of data

Putting together of the Programming of the

materials for the prototype arduino codes
METHODOLOGY
The researchers created a prototype using the materials that were bought.
The prototype was assembled, and then reprogrammed using the software
“Arduino IDE”.

After the simulation, the researcher’s made a base for the board, sensor, and
buzzer. The prototype was then tested 3 different times, to confirm that the
Ultrasonic Sensor worked omnidirectionally.
METHODOLOGY
\// Define pins for ultrasonic and buzzer
int const trigPin = 4;
int const echoPin = 5;
int const buzzPin = 13;

void setup()
{
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // trig pin will have pulses output
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // echo pin should be input to get pulse width
pinMode(buzzPin, OUTPUT); // buzz pin is output to control buzzering
}

void loop()
{
// Duration will be the input pulse width and distance will be the distance to the obstacle in
centimeters
int duration, distance;
// Output pulse with 1ms width on trigPin
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
// Measure the pulse input in echo pin
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
// Distance is half the duration devided by 29.1 (from datasheet)
distance = (duration/2) / 29.1;
// if distance less than 0.5 meter and more than 0 (0 or less means over range)
if (distance <= 100 && distance >= 0) {
// Buzz
digitalWrite(buzzPin, HIGH);
} else {
// Don't buzz
digitalWrite(buzzPin, LOW);
}
// Waiting 60 ms won't hurt any one
delay(60);
}
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Trials Results
Buzzer sounded whenever an object went within 0.5 meters of the Ultrasonic Sensor (up
Trial 1 and down)

Buzzer sounded whenever an object went within 1 meter of the Ultrasonic Sensor (up and
Trial 2 down)

Buzzer sounded whenever an object went within 1 meter of the Ultrasonic Sensor (left and
Trial 3 right)

Buzzer sounded whenever an object went within 1 meter of the Ultrasonic Sensor (forward
Trial 4 and backward)

The trials that the researchers executed were proven to be successful. All of the
components worked as intended and met the researchers expectation.
The buzzer beeped when there was an object 1 meter from the sensor, the prototype
successfully sensed and alerted its user.
CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion
Social Distancing Bracelet is an effective social distancing gadget. It successfully performed it's
function which is maintaining a distance of 1 meter to a person's surroundings. With the help of this
gadget, we could prevent the further spreading of the virus from one person to another.

Recommendations
Test the product in a public area with a moderate number of people to observe its
effectiveness.

Innovate the product as a stationary social distancing device. It can be used as a

marker of 1 meter distance inside the store, market, and other public places.

Improving the alert system by establishing a wider range of communication with the
utilization of text messages.
