Abstract

COVID-19 contact tracing is a preventive solution to slow the spread of the virus. Several countries have implemented manual contact tracing as well as digital tracking using smartphone applications. A proximity-based COVID-19 contact tracing system device using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology focuses on tracking and controlling the spread of the virus in local communities. The devices consist of a signal sending device (tag) and a signal receiving device (scanner). Suppose a system device is implemented in a factory. The tag will be used by employees by placing it in the front pocket of the factory employee's clothes or hooked on the shirt. The tag will continuously send a signal that will be read by the scanner. This received signal with the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) format will be used to calculate the distance between the scanner and the tag. Then the distance will be used to determine the coordinate point of the tag, with calculations using the trilateration algorithm. Therefore, the distance between tags can be obtained, while with signal fluctuation, the actual coordinate point cannot be obtained, yet proximity information can still be obtained by filtering distance data at a specified time interval that is less than the threshold value of the distance, 2 meters, then comparing the data with the overall data, resulting in a percentage value. A high percentage, above 80%, indicates the closeness between tags.

He joined Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia in Sep. 2011 and became a Permanent Faculty Member since 2012. His main interests currently are in the areas of biomedical engineering (informatics, diagnosis and therapy), microwave medical imaging, MRI system, microstrip antennas, planar arrays, microwave medical devices, radar applications, metamaterials, MIMO antennas, reconfigurable antennas, RFIDs, UWB antennas, nano-satellite, microwave circuits, reflectarray, mobile satellite antennas. Dr. Basari was secretary of IEEE MTT/AP Indonesia Chapter since 2012 to 2015. In 2016 and 2017 he was vice chair of IEEE MTT/AP-S Joint Chapter Indonesia Section. Starting from 2018 to 2019, he serves as Chair of IEEE MTT/AP-Society Joint Chapter Indonesia Section. He has been General Chair of International Symposium on Biomedical Engineering (ISBE) 2016. He was principal Editor for IEEE publication of Quality in Research (QiR) 2017. He also involves in some technical conferences and a national journal in the area of Engineering and Technology. He was Managing Editor in Makara Journal of Technology from 2016-2018. Now, he is Editor in Chief in the same Journal (Makara Journal of Technology, Universitas Indonesia) since 2018. From 2018-2021 and 2022-present, he also serves as a Head of Biomedical Engineering Programs in the Department of Electrical Engineering, UI. He was a recipient of IEEE AP-Society Japan Chapter Young Engineer Award, Who’s Who in the World, Dean Award of Chiba University, APRASC-URSI Young Scientist Award, the 2015 QiR Best Paper Award, FTUI Dean for Covid-19 Product Innovation, Product license, in 2010, 2011, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2020, 2021 respectively.
