This work eases the feasibility of infrared thermometer application and reliability to introduce a novel design with upgraded applications & functions. The custom-designed compact device "Badge" structured comprises the operative methods through the electronic packages of an optimal level. The physical and social distance measured by the ToF (Time of Flight) infrared laser sensor within 1 m from the subject and the measuring equipment (MLX90632 SMD QFN and VL530LX ToF). When the distance is not maintained, or the physical distance condition is not met, the flashing LED, or vibration should trigger an indication (warning for physical distancing and alteration for pyrexia warning, respectively). Statistical analysis and simulation-based studies criticized the accuracy of ±0.5°F and relational model of the independent and dependent variable for this device with significant R2 = 0.99 and P < = 1; values with the lowest accuracy error of ±0.2°F and least residual sum of squares 0.01462 values. The portable, lightweight, and dynamic body temperature monitoring altered the application from static to continuous, complete structural design. This alternative provides the best technique to combine worn (personnel) medical devices with primary healthcare instruments to help body temperature measurements that are not contactable, fast, and accurate. It builds a way of processing through the protocol Covid-19.
