In case you missed it last week, the company announced the development of a new crowd accommodating fever-detection system called ThermalPass; designed to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus and other fever-bearing contagions.
ThermalPass will have the goal of detecting body temperatures accurately and efficiently on people walking at a normal pace to help accelerate the screening processes at high-traffic, public locations, providing audible and visual alerts when a higher than normal body temperature is found. The technology then require staff to enact their own protocols to isolate those with indicated fever from the rest of the patrons or employees, to help stop viruses from spreading.
The new technology, developed under the company’s subsidiary AI Labs, is a non-imposing system that blends into its environment designed for entranceways at shopping malls, schools, office buildings, airports, arenas, theme parks, convention centers etc.
