One of the best methods of prevention and detection is through the use of thermal imaging technology. Although no thermal cameras can detect or diagnose an actual sickness, thermal imaging can be used in detecting elevated body temperatures, in high-traffic public places through quick individual screening.
Thermal imaging cameras can be used to detect Elevated Body Temperature (EBT) and have a long history of being used in public spaces such as schools, colleges, city and county buildings, airports, businesses, factories, and concerts venues.
If the temperature of the skin in key areas, especially the corner of the eye and forehead, is above average temperature, the employee or guest may be selected for additional screening. Identifying individuals with EBT should then be screened with virus-specific diagnostic tests to help reduce or dramatically slow the spread of sicknesses, viruses, and infections.
