Challenge
Manual forehead thermometers used during COVID-19 resulted in long lines and wait times to enter buildings as each visitor had to be stopped and screened. This posed a safety risk for frontline staff who were in close proximity to many people.
Description
The device, which is made from a smartphone fitted with thermal and 3D laser cameras, is able to scan people's temperature as they walk, detecting and alerting when someone has a fever. The AI device not only cuts down on wait time but also provides a safer alternative for frontline staff who now can stay at a safe distance from the steady flow of people entering and exiting buildings.
Outcomes
Reduction in wait times for temperature screening, safer conditions for frontline staff, capability to screen up to 5000 persons per day, remote monitoring available through a connected dashboard.
