    Abstract
    In today's modern society, the use of radiation sources in a wide range of activities has increased rapidly. As a result, occupational exposure to ionizing radiation doses that cause health effects increases. Excessive doses of 20 millisieverts (mSv) per year cause acute effects such as sterility or cancer. The health effects of ionizing radiation fall in many countries around the world, including Tanzania. Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC) manages dosimeters in order to reduce radiation hazards to radiation workers. Nonetheless, after dispatching those dosimeters, the TAEC management room is unable to determine whether or not each supposed wearer has worn the dosimeter. This originates from an incorrect assessment of an individual occupational radiation dose. Therefore, an Internet of Things-based Monitoring and Reporting System for Dosimeter Wearers in Radiation Areas is developed. Using internet of things (IoT) technology, this project presents an effective and affordable system for real-time remote monitoring and reporting staff wearing passive dosimeters while near or in the area; radiation exposure is too high. The scrum method, which is based on agile methodology, was used for system development. The system was run by an ESP32 microcontroller board that was programmed in C using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment. The ESP 32 microcontroller could send data to the weber server via its built-in Wi-Fi. Through the mapping web application, the end-user (TAEC Managerial Officer) monitored and visualized radiation workers. IoT enabled the dosimeter to be monitored and reported on at any time via the internet.
