The global pandemic requires the development of technological solutions to minimize physical contact, especially in public facilities such as water taps, which can function as a medium for transmitting infectious diseases. This study aims to design and develop a prototype of an automatic water tap integrated with an Arduino Uno microcontroller-based body temperature meter. This system was created to support health protocol efforts when carrying out activities, increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of disease transmission. The research method includes problem identification, literature study, hardware and software component design, prototyping, and functionality testing. The test results obtained show that all components work according to their functions with a high level of accuracy, such as the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, which is able to detect objects at a distance between the object and the sensor <12cm, then the Relay will be active and the Mini Water Pump will pump water automatically, and the Valve on the Solenoid Valve will open, and water will flow automatically through the water tap. The test results on the MLX-90614 temperature sensor also obtained an average difference of only 0.28 ° C compared to the thermometer gun as a comparison.
